Stephen 'tWitch' Boss shared a heartfelt message with fans to reassure them "everything will be alright" just weeks before he died.
The DJ, who became known for his appearances on the Ellen Show, died from apparent suicide on Tuesday morning, TMZ has reported. He was just 40 years old.
Just two months ago in October, Stephen took to Twitter to share an encouraging message about life's struggles – in a post that would be one of his last on the social media platform.
He shared a screenshot of a note, which read: "One of my favourite parts of flying on a cloudy day is when the plane breaks through the clouds to reveal the beautiful day that's just beyond the 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."
Stephen's wife Allison Holker is said to have run into an LAPD station on Tuesday after she was left deeply concerned he had left home without his car, which was unlike him, a law enforcement source told the online publication.
A short time later, it has been reported that the police received a call for a shooting at an LA hotel, where Stephen was found dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Just three days before his death, Stephen took to Instagram to celebrate his ninth wedding anniversary with Allison.
Sharing a series of pictures from their special day, the TV star said: "Happy anniversary my love @allisonholker #9years."
Allison also posted a gushing tribute to her husband, sharing a video from their wedding ceremony. Alongside it, she wrote: "It’s our 9th anniversary!! I couldn’t be more grateful to celebrate this perfect magical day!!!
"Saying YES to @sir_twitch_alot has been one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life!!"
Allison added: "I feel so blessed and loved!! I love you baby and I will never take you or OUR love for granted! I LOVE YOU."
Tributes have been pouring in for Stephen, with singer Tamar Braxton commenting on Allison's latest Instagram post: "Sisssssssster my heart is broken. I’m sooooo sorry."
Real Housewives of Miami star Larsa Pippen added: "Praying for your family."
Stephen's So You Think You Can Dance co-star Rudy Abreu wrote: "My heart is broken right now finding out this news… I am so sorry and I love you.."
