Stephen Boss who worked as the DJ for talk show host Ellen DeGeneres under his stage name, ‘tWitch’ — died Tuesday at the age of 40 in an apparent su!cide.

Law enforcement officers said that Boss’ wife, Allison Holker, frantically ran into a Los Angeles Police Department station Tuesday and told officers she was deeply concerned that Boss had left home without his car, according to TMZ. She reported that this behavior was out of the ordinary.

A short time later, police received a call about a shooting in a Los Angeles area hotel. Boss was reportedly located with what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. He was already deceased by the time police arrived on scene, TMZ.
