Stephen Laurel “tWitch” Boss was an American freestyle hip-hop dancer, choreographer, actor, television producer, and television personality. His infectious smile captured our hearts on So You Think You Can Dance where he finished as a runner-up to Joshua Allen, and on the Ellen Show where he was eventually promoted to Co-Exceutive Producer. Stephen and his wife Allison share three beautiful children. 

On December 13th 2022, Stephen Laurel ‘tWitch” Boss was found dead in a Hotel of an apparent gun shot wound. According to TMZ Stephen left at least one clue as to what his struggles were leading up to his suicide — it came in a note alluding to challenges he’s faced in the past.  

Law enforcement sources told TMZ that tWitch’s note, left at the scene of his suicide, was an ambiguous reference to his past challenges. It’s unclear exactly what he was referring to in the note. Investigators have determined that tWitch took an Uber from his home to the motel less than a mile from his home Monday morning, and switched his phone to airplane mode so no one could reach or track him.

We are left with the moments he gave us while he lived. Here are some
