LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: On the weekend of his nine-year wedding anniversary, Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss danced with his wife and kids and was an epitome of joy. However, the final video he shared on social media seems eerie in light of the 40-year-old’s suicide.
He can be seen in the video grinning and laughing with his family as they promote goods on social media. In the video uploaded to Instagram and TikTok, he lifts his daughter into the air and swings her about happily. While celebrating their anniversary, he posted a sweet message for his wife Allison Holker Boss with whom he had danced hand in hand, addressing her as "my love." But three days later, Boss left his family home without a car and checked into a motel where he shot himself to death. Here is a detailed description of what happened in the days before Boss took his own life:

Although it's unclear exactly when Boss left his house, he checked into the Oak Tree Motel in Los Angeles on Monday, December 12. To see if any rooms were available, he called the motel on Monday morning at 9.20 am. From his Los Angeles residence, he then took a 15-minute stroll to the motel. The DJ's wife was left worried since he left his car parked at home. Boss checked into the hotel under his own name on the same date. When Boss left without his car on and didn't show up again on December 13, Allison started fearing the worst. Soon, the Los Angeles Police Department received a police report from her. Later, Daily Mail was informed by motel personnel that a maid found Boss's dead body in the bathroom while doing a welfare check after he failed to check out of the motel on time.
