Stephen "tWitch" Boss, the famed DJ on Ellen DeGeneres' talk show, is dead ... and TMZ has learned it appears to be a suicide.
Law enforcement sources tell us Stephen's wife Allison Holker ran into an LAPD station Tuesday, and she was frantic because she said Stephen had left home without his car -- something that was not like him at all.
We're told, a short time later -- around 11:15 AM -- paramedics got a call for a medical emergency at an L.A. hotel ... and they found Stephen there, dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
So sad. Poor guy.
Very sad. His poor wife and baby.
:'(
So shocked about this! Very sad :-(
Never knew his name but I loved him. This is terrible!
I saw he died and was BL0WN! They said they didnt release info on his death but the man was only 40 and was just on social media dancing with his wife a few days ago so PROBABLY
I didnt even read the story, came right in responding. Not him committing suicide :omf:

And right after their 9th wedding anniversary!
So shocked about this, I hope his soul found peace
Looks like this had to do with FTX which was in the news today too... Apparently he lost his life savings and had been promoting it also and so likely felt responsible for many many people loosing life savings.
Gotta be careful with crypto.
That make more sense then him being deeply depressed and us not seeing it. He seems like a real genuine soul and family man and if he felt he cheated folks out of their futures I could see him being devastated.
So sad
Fine self
RIP
He was foine
RIP King

it's just speculation at this point , he followed FTX and its founder on Twitter
it's a pretty ambitious reach to make without a lot of evidence ...
but i have to admit i first wondered if this was a case of self- sacrifice when i learned he not only had a wife but like 3 kids too. and i was considering that before i even learned he had a connection to FTX.
that possibility didn't cross my mind til i learned about the 3 kids. even the most depressed people who are having the craziest thoughts will tell you that their kids give them reason to stay on earth. not saying that's the case ALL the time, but it is many times.
if he indeed did lose a significant amount of his money, enough to put him in the hole ...
there could have been an insurance policy that would protect his family and provide for them in his permanent absence.
but then again im wondering would an insurance policy pay out on suicide?

i wouldn't rule it out

just checked - it's possible.
QuoteSuicide is not generally covered in the first two years of a life insurance policy but it is covered after that. This two-year period is known as a suicide clause.
If a suicide happens more than two years after getting a life insurance policy, the life insurance policy will pay out death benefit to the policy's beneficiaries.
While beneficiaries are not entitled to death benefits if a suicide occurs during a policy's first two years, they may receive a refund of the premiums that were paid into the policy before the death.

Didn't read it... I was watching a few Insta Stories from the actor Columbus Short and he was speaking about what happened. He lost a lot of money too.
Those claims aren't true
