It was confirmed that Stephen “tWitch” Boss left behind a suicide note that alluded to his past challenges.
Law officials said, “Police discovered at the scene of the suicide, Boss had left behind a message that contained vague references to issues he had been dealing with.”
At this time those challenges have not been revealed. However, it has been confirmed it had nothing to do with rumors claiming Boss had lost his life savings.
The Los Angeles County medical examiner confirmed this week that tWitch had died by self-inflicted gunshot wound. The “So You Think You Can Dance” alum was 40 years old.
Boss’ widow, Allison Holker, rushed to a police station earlier this week when her husband had left their house without his car. She claimed it was very unlike him and he had shut his phone off.
Holler said, “We had no issues in our marriage or as a family before he chose to take off on us.”
“It is with the heaviest of hearts that I have to share my husband Stephen has left us,” Holker said in a statement after the news of his passing had broken. “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.”
Boss’ body was discovered in a motel located a mile away from his Los Angeles home. Staff at the Oak tree Inn in Encino, California, said, “He didn’t seem visibly upset when he checked into our motel.”
The famed dancer’s grandfather Eddy Boss revealed that tWitch had expressed his love for him in a final message now considered eerie.
“Every word has meaning. His last words to me were a simple text that says, ‘I love you Dad-Dad,’” Eddy sadly said. “Our question is why? Where did it come from? I never saw any signs that my grandson was struggling with his mental health.”
“We spoke as recently as Saturday on more than one occasion,” he shared. “He was the same happy-go-lucky person that he’s always been. We had no indication that anything was out of the ordinary.”
Holker and Stephen, who married in 2013, shared three kids: Weslie, 14, Maddox, 6, and Zaia, 3.
