Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss Reportedly Left Suicide Note
Law enforcement sources reportedly told TMZ that Boss left an ambiguous note alluding to his past challenges. The outlet reports that it’s not clear exactly what the dancer was referring to in the message.
A source has told the New York Post that there is “absolutely no truth” to the theory (spread by Boss’s former Stomp the Yard: Homecoming co-star Columbus Short) that Boss had lost his life savings.
TMZ also reports that Boss took an Uber from his home to a hotel less than a mile away on Monday morning and put his phone on airplane mode. His body was discovered at the hotel on Tuesday, and it was determined that he died due to a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Boss’s wife Allison Holker reportedly went to police on Tuesday to report that her husband had left home without warning and wasn’t answering her calls.
