An autopsy has confirmed that Stephen “tWitch” Boss died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
The beloved “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” DJ, 40, was found dead by a hotel maid inside the Oak Tree Inn in the Encino neighborhood of Los Angeles on Wednesday after he missed his check-out time.
An autopsy was subsequently conducted by the Los Angeles Medical Examiner and Boss’ body is now ready to be released to his devastated wife, Allison Holker, 34, according to RadarOnline.com.
The Post has reached out to the medical examiner’s office for confirmation.
A heartbroken Holker released a statement earlier on Wednesday, confirming her husband’s death, saying: “It is with the heaviest of hearts that I have to share my husband Stephen has left us.
“Stephen lit up every room he stepped into,” the statement continued. “He valued family, friends and community above all else and leading with love and light was everything to him. He was the backbone of our family, the best husband and father, and an inspiration to his fans.”
Boss was best known as the DJ on DeGeneres’ eponymous daytime series, which he joined in 2014.
He was elevated to executive producer in 2020 and stayed with DeGeneres until the finale of her show in 2022.

Boss got his start as a contestant on MTV’s “The Wade Robson Project” in 2003 and rose to household name fame on “So You Think You Can Dance” in 2008. He joined DeGeneres’ show six years late.
