Stephen "tWitch" Boss, the famed DJ on Ellen Degeneres' talk show, is dead. He was 40 years old.

TMZ has learned it appears to be a suicide.

Law enforcement sources tell told the website that Stephen's wife Allison Holker ran into a Los Angelos Police Department (LAPD) station on Tuesday, and she was frantic because she said Stephen had left home without his car - something that was not like him at all.

Sources told TMZ that a short time later police got a call for a shooting at an L.A. hotel and they found Stephen there, dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.

In a statement issued to People, Allison Holker noted that "Stephen lit up every room he stepped into. 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."

She continued, "Stephen, we love you, we miss you, and I will always save the last dance for you."

Stephen started DJing on Ellen's show in 2014, and was with her until the show ended in May 2022. He had become an executive producer on the show in 2020.

He really got his big break in showbiz in 2008, when he was runner-up on "So You Think Can Dance."

He went on to do some acting, landing several roles where he could show off his dance skills. Stephen played Jason in the 'Step Up' movie franchise, and he was also in "Magic Mike XXL."

In September, months after the end of the Ellen Degeneres Show, TMZ caught up with him in L.A. and he talked about life after 'Ellen' - sounding pretty happy to have more time with his family.

Stephen hosted several reality shows most notably, he and Allison hosted "Disney's Fairy Tale Weddings" together on Disney+.

The couple met on the all-star season of 'So You Think You Can Dance". They were both competing and they got married on December 10, 2013.

Allison and Stephen had just celebrated their 9-year anniversary this past Saturday.
