‘I love you Dad-Dad’ – Final words of Stephen tWitch Boss, to his grandfather, 84, who said there were ‘no signs’ the DJ was troubled before he shot himself in a motel room
Eddy Boss, 84, his grandfather said that he spoke to him on Saturday before his death
Stephen ‘tWitch‘ Boss’ heartbroken grandfather said that there were ‘no signs’ that the dancer was troubled in the weeks before his death.
The 40- year-old was found dead in a room at the Oak Tree Motel in LA – a 15-minute walk from his LA home – at about 11:15 am Tuesday.
He messaged his grandfather before his death saying ‘I love you Dad-Dad’ as well as posting a birthday message to him on social media four days before his death
Eddy Boss, 84, told DailyMail.com exclusively that there were no signs of stress in the weeks or months leading up to his death.
Speaking about the former Ellen Show producer he said: ‘We spoke as recently as Saturday on more than one occasion.
‘He was the same happy-go-lucky person that he’s always been. We had no indication that anything was out of the ordinary.
‘He was a very humble, generous person. He brought light into everybody’s lives. We’re completely devastated right now.
‘All I can say is he was a beautiful person that contributed so much to this world and to everyone he met in a positive way. We miss him dearly and we’re hurting tremendously.’
Eddy, who travelled from Arizona to be with the family, is urging others to look out for warning signs in their loved ones.
He added: ‘Every word has meaning. His last words to me were a simple text that says “I love you Dad-Dad.” Our question is why? Where did it come from?’
Eddy said he was still ‘not sure’ that his grandson’s death was a suicide, though LAPD confirmed it was a ‘self-inflicted gunshot wound’ that killed him.
A police spokesman said the case has been passed to the LA County Coroner’s Office.
Boss had celebrated his wedding anniversary with wife Allison Holker, 34, three days before shooting himself in the head.
In an interview last month the dancer told the Jennifer Hudson show that he and his wife were considering adding to their family – adding: ‘I love the little babies, I love them. It’s a constant conversation.’
