Ellen’s DJ, tWitch, was found dead in an LA hotel room at the age of 40. Allison Holker, tWitch’s wife, spoke with the LAPD on Tuesday because she noticed that her husband left their home without his car, which concerned her. Shortly after, Stephen Boss was found in a hotel room in LA dead by a self-inflicted gunshot.
