New information is emerging about the suicide of Stephen “tWitch” Boss. Family, friends and fans of the Ellen DeGeneres Show DJ are devastated over his death. Last Tuesday Boss was found dead in an Encino, California motel room and the coroner has confirmed his death was caused by suicide.
Twitch left a suicide note at the scene of his suicide. According to TMZ law enforcement sources told TMZ the note was a cryptic clue to past challenges he faced. He said he could not continue to go on. It is not clear what past challenges Twitch was referring to in the note. No further details have been released.
Apparently, investigators believe tWitch was dropped off by an Uber less than a mile from his residence on Monday morning. Then, he set his phone to airplane mode so he couldn’t be tracked or reached.
On Tuesday morning, Twitch was discovered dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound by a motel worker. An autopsy has been performed on Wednesday and toxicology is still pending.
Stephen “tWitch” Boss’s mom Connie Boss Alexander praised her late son and thanked fans for all of their support in this time of mourning.
Connie posted her tributes on her Instagram Story on Thursday, two days after her son’s death. Connie is known by many fans due to her appearances on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. She wanted everybody to be aware that their supportive messages are being received, even if she has not responded.
“Family and friends, thank you for all the love, prayers and encouragement,” Connie posted in her Story ( People). “Please know I see all the messages, texts, posts and the phone calls. I can’t use words right now. Please know I will reach out when I can. Please continue to keep us in prayer. Stephen Laurel, your mother loves you to eternity and beyond.”
On Wednesday, Boss’s wife Allison Holker Boss talked about her late husband to People magazine

“To say he left a legacy would be an understatement, and his positive impact will continue to be felt,” she continued. “I am certain there won’t be a day that goes by that we won’t honor his memory. We ask for privacy during this difficult time for myself and especially for our three children.”
