Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss, the longtime DJ on Ellen DeGeneres’ talk show, has died, his wife announced Wednesday.
He was 40.
Boss was pronounced dead just before 11:30 a.m. local time on Tuesday in Encino, a Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner spokesperson said. Online records list the manner of death as suicide and the place of death as a “hotel/motel.”
His wife, Allison Holker Boss, with whom he shares three children, issued a statement about her husband’s death.
