New information about the death of DJ Stephen Twitch Boss has come forward. The Ellen DeGeneres Show co-host died by suicide. Law enforcement found a note he left behind prior to passing.
According to TMZ, the suicide note was discovered by law enforcement in the motel room where Twitch’s body was found. The police revealed that the letter included “an ambiguous reference to his past challenges.” Specific details present in the note were not released at the time of writing this article.
A netizen found the note's description odd and reacted to it by saying:
The choreographer, who died at the age of 40 left his residence in an Uber on December 12, before arriving at a motel not too far from his house. He went on to put his mobile phone on flight mode before taking his own life so that he would not get any calls, nor would his location be tracked. A motel employee found his body. Police revealed that he died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

“One of my favorite parts of flying on a cloudy day is when the plane breaks through the clouds to reveal the beautiful day that’s just beyond a cloud ceiling. A great reminder for life on the vastness of the idea that everything will be alright. And if we can just know, have faith that just beyond whatever clouds are on our perceived ceiling, are clear skies full of potential possibilities and promises.”
