More details are emerging regarding what really happened to Stephen “tWitch” Boss, and the situation is looking more suspect than ever. Stephen was an incredible father and husband, and his wife, Allison Holker, recently described their life together as a beautiful, choreographed dance filled with love, laughter, and amazing memories.
The toxicology reports have finally been released, revealing that there were no substances or alcohol in Stephen’s system. According to Allison, there were no marital or financial issues, and Stephen did not suffer from mental health problems or have a history of suicidal thoughts or ideation. This situation brings to mind Anne Heche’s toxicology report, which showed she was not impaired by substances at the time of her accident.
On December 13, 2022, Stephen, the DJ, co-host, and executive producer of The Ellen Show, was found in a motel room less than a 15-minute walk from his home. Just a few hours earlier, Allison had rushed to an LAPD station, frantic because Stephen had left home without his car and had not returned, something very unlike him. She told police that there had been no argument or issue, and he had stopped all communication, not answering any of her calls. Allison’s alarm led police to consider listing Stephen as a critical missing person, a designation that includes scenarios where the missing person is an immediate danger to themselves or others.
Before police could finalize this decision, they received a call around 11 A.M. reporting a shooting at the Oak Tree Inn, a nearby motel. When police arrived, paramedics had already pronounced Stephen dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. According to hotel staff, Stephen had checked in the previous morning, appearing completely normal and calm, with no visible signs of distress.
The newly released autopsy report states that after Stephen missed checkout, a maid found him in the bathroom, unresponsive, with his clothes neatly folded and his belongings, including notebooks and a laptop, left behind. Investigators determined that Stephen had taken an Uber to the motel, switched his phone to airplane mode, and left no immediate signs of foul play. The case was handed over to the coroner, who confirmed the cause of death as a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Despite the lack of initial toxicology results and an apparent suicide note, the case was quickly closed. Two days later, media outlets reported the discovery of a vague note where Stephen supposedly wrote about past struggles and challenges. However, details about the note’s format or location were not provided.
The release of the toxicology report five months later raises more questions. How could a case go from being nearly declared a critical missing person’s case to being closed as a suicide within 24 hours? Why was there no suicide note found initially, and why did no one hear the gunshot? Where did the gun come from, and why was Stephen found with only a towel around his neck?
The rapid closure of the case, with so many unanswered questions, has left many people in disbelief, including some of Stephen’s loved ones, like his grandfather, who continue to question what really happened to Stephen “tWitch” Boss.
