New Details About Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss’s Death
TMZ reports that, according to law enforcement, Holker entered a branch of the LAPD on Tuesday to report her husband missing. Boss had apparently left the house without warning and wasn’t answering her calls.
Police reportedly did a check around the family’s home for a sign of where Boss had gone. Holker was so insistent that Boss’s behavior was unusual that police considered listing the star as a “critical missing persons” case.
Shortly after this, a 911 call came in saying that Boss’s body had been discovered at a hotel less than a mile from his home. The dancer reportedly died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Staff from the hotel told TMZ that Boss checked in Monday morning and booked one night.
Boss apparently had a small bag with him when he checked in, and he was not visibly upset. His body was discovered on Tuesday after he missed his check-out time.

Holker Released a Statement About Boss’s Death
On Wednesday, Holker released a statement confirming her husband’s death to People, saying, “It is with the heaviest of hearts that I have to share my husband Stephen has left us.”
“Stephen lit up every room he stepped into,” the statement continued. “He valued family, friends and community above all else and leading with love and light was everything to him. He was the backbone of our family, the best husband and father, and an inspiration to his fans.”
Holker asked for privacy for herself and the couple’s three children. She ended her statement by saying, “Stephen, we love you, we miss you, and I will always save the last dance for you.”
In 2008, Boss placed second on Season 4 of So You Think You Can Dance. He later returned to the show as an All-Star and sat on the judging panel for Season 17 earlier this year. Boss was the DJ on The Ellen DeGeneres Show for several years starting in 2014. He was also a co-executive producer on the show.
Something just doesn’t add up.He walked out of his family home and walked a short distance to the Motel he stayed at, but his wife doesn’t know what was going on? I don’t believe her. Further more if that was my husband I would not be able to go on and on about what happened, I would be far to sad. Something is very fishy.
The simple reality a talented individual took his own life for whatever reason. Let his family grieve. In this time and age everyone is looking for the ugly. Be kind and say a prayer for his wife and children
This is so sad. He always seemed so happy on Ellen. I wonder if he was distraught over the Ellen show ended or was it just a coincidence? According to his wife he was acting weird & left on foot. If she thought he was acting weird & way out of character for him she should have followed him. I can understand if he took off in a car. He was definitely not in a good place and unfortunately thought this was the only way out. There are so many questions & speculation. Had his wife asked for a divorce… Read more »
