Ellen DeGeneres tweeted she’s “heartbroken” following the news that Stephen “tWitch” Boss, who served as a DJ for her talk show, died in an apparent suicide. “tWitch was pure love and light. He was my family, and I loved him with all my heart,” she tweeted. “I will miss him. Please send your love and support to Allison and his beautiful children - Weslie, Maddox, and Zaia.” Boss began DJing on the show in 2014 and became a regular staple, dancing and pumping up the audience, before working his way up as an executive producer. He remained a pivotal part of the show until its end earlier this year.
