Late Ellen DJ Stephen 'tWitch' Boss Left A Suicide Note Hinting At Past Struggles

After checking into the Oak Tree motel, the 40-year-old placed his phone on airplane mode to avoid anyone from reaching him, before going ahead to shoot himself. This incident was unknown to anyone until the following day when the hotel management awaited his check out but to no avail. The room where he was lodged was searched and his belongings were still there.

This created curiosity in the hotel staff who found him dead in the bathroom of the room where he was unresponsive. A suicide note which was found indicated that the long-time executive producer of the Ellen DeGeneres show was going through tough times.

Holker, who has been married to the choreographer for nine years, revealed that her husband left the house without saying a word to her. The mother of his three kids awaited his return and tried contacting him several times but all to no avail. Her inability to reach him prompted her to contact the Los Angeles police on Tuesday, to make a report about his sudden disappearance. It had been just three days after their wedding anniversary, and Holker insisted that there was no argument between them that could have warranted him leaving.

She also stated that his lack of contact was quite questionable. Following Holker's report at the station, she was accompanied back home for a brief search which was to get a clue about his disappearance. Not long after, a call from 9-1-1 from a nearby motel proved that he had died from a gunshot wound.

Boss's wife and mother of his three kids, Zala, 3, Maddox Laurel, 6, and Weslie Renae has paid a heartfelt tribute to her late husband. "She said she would save the last dance for him."

Also, DeGeneres has paid tribute to him as her family and pure love and light, adding that she is heartbroken. She said, "I will miss him, please send your love and support to Allison and his beautiful children."

Jennifer Lopez also penned a tribute to Boss describing him as a light and beautiful soul while sharing that she is shocked and deeply saddened by the incident.

The official cause of Boss's death has been confirmed as suicide. The document gathered by ET revealed that the producer of the Ellen DeGeneres Show died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound on his head. He also disclosed that there were no signs of foul play and the case has been handed over to the Los Angeles county coroner's office.

A spokesman for the Los Angeles medical examiner told ET after the autopsy has occurred. Although he shared that the toxicology test result is still pending, and not yet out.
