An autopsy report for Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss claims he had no drugs or alcohol in his system the day he committed suicide in a hotel room at the age of 40.
He was found dead at approximately 11:15 a.m. on Dec. 13 in a room at the Oak Tree Motel in LA — a 15-minute walk from his LA home. He died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
According to new legal documents obtained by The Blast, Boss’s wife, Allison Holker, told officers the Ellen Show DJ showed no signs of distress prior to his death.
Investigators noted that she told officers that “as far as she knows, [Stephen] has no history of suicide attempts or suicidal thoughts.” She also said he has “no mental health problems, no financial problems or marital problems.”
According to the legal documents, Boss was completely sober leading up to his suicide.
Holker admitted that it “breaks her heart” that she “didn’t see it coming,” adding that she “feels sad” that her husband “was so there” for her and their children as he secretly battled his demons.

Following the incident, fans speculated about issues that may have led to his untimely death. Many fans waited for the toxicology report to learn more about what happened.
The autopsy report states: ‘On Tuesday, December 13, 2022 at 11:10 am, the hotel manager and housekeeping staff entered the room, because the deceased had not checked out. They discovered the deceased’s belongings still in the room and then found the deceased unconscious in the shower with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.”
“A white towel hung around the shoulders of the deceased,” and his clothes and other belongings were found neatly folded in the motel room, according to the report.
It further reads: ‘Against the north wall of the room was a table on which was a backpack containing several notebooks and a laptop. The clothes of the deceased were neatly folded on the table.’
In addition, nothing in the room points to anything specific that explains his actions.
While Holker is still grieving the loss of her husband, whom she described as a “magical” person, she said she tries to focus on the incredible memories they made together.

Initial media reports indicated that Boss had left a suicide note, referring to his “past struggles.”
The autopsy report confirms that a note was found, but there is no detail as to what it said.
Holker told police how “out of character” his actions were after he left his home. It was to such an extent that officers considered including it as a critical missing persons case.
She reportedly ran into an LAPD station and said her husband had left the house without his car, which was very different from him.

Holker spoke of the tragic death on social media, writing, “Stephen lit up every room he stepped into. He valued family, friends and community above all else, and leading with love and light was everything to him.”
She added, “He was the backbone of our family, the best husband and father, and an inspiration to his fans. To say he left a legacy would be an understatement, and his positive impact will still be felt. I’m sure not a day will go by that we won’t honor his memory.’
Ellen said in a statement the day after his death: “I am heartbroken. tWitch was pure love and light. He was my family and I loved him with all my heart.
‘I will miss him. Please send your love and support to Allison and his beautiful children – Weslie, Maddox and Zaia.”
