We’re discovering more information about the circumstances surrounding DJ Stephen “tWitch” Boss’s abrupt and terrible death, including what those who interacted with him in the days before his suicide claim to have seen.
Stephen reportedly checked into a motel less than a mile from his Los Angeles home on Monday morning, according to sources with firsthand knowledge. He didn’t seem to be in any kind of difficulty or to be overtly angry about anything, according to motel employees with whom we spoke. According to reports, the 40-year-old had only a tiny piece of luggage with him and had only reserved the hotel for one night.
Employees rushed to tWitch’s hotel after he failed to check out on Tuesday and discovered him dead in the bathroom from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. No one heard gunfire during tWitch’s visit, according to the staff members we spoke with, which is plausible given the motel’s configuration — it has separate apartments and is built in a U-shape.
The news first surfaced on TMZ. Allison, Stephen’s wife, was distraught when she reported her husband missing, claiming that it was uncharacteristic of him and that he had left his car at home. Tuesday at 11:15 a.m., paramedics were sent to the hotel and declared tWitch dead there.
Ellen DeGeneres paid tribute to her buddy in a touching message, writing, “I’m devastated. tWitch was only pure light and love. I had nothing but love to give him because he was my family. He will be missed. Please offer Allison and his three lovely children—Weslie, Maddox, and Zaia—your love and support.”
