Stephen “tWitch” Boss reportedly left the house unexpectedly and wouldn’t answer his phone before his death by suicide at 40.

His wife Allison Holker, 34, suspected something was wrong, and she told cops Boss left their California house without any argument or problem — but wasn’t answering her calls, TMZ reported.

She emphasized to law enforcement how “out of character” his actions were — so much so that officers considered listing Boss as a “critical missing persons” case, the NY Post reported.

Law enforcement sources told the outlet that they went with Holker back to her home in Los Angeles to check the property for any information on where Boss could have gone.

It was earlier reported that Holker reportedly ran frantically into an LAPD station, saying her husband had left home without his car, which she claimed was unlike him, according to law enforcement sources.

Shortly after Holker’s interaction with the LAPD, they received a call about a shooting at an LA hotel, where they found the beloved “Ellen DeGeneres Show” DJ and “So You Think You Can Dance” star dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Holker — a professional dancer who also appeared on “So You Think You Can Dance” — released a statement to The Post confirming her husband’s death, saying, “It is with the heaviest of hearts that I have to share my husband Stephen has left us.”

Her statement continued, “Stephen lit up every room he stepped into. 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.”

The spouses had co-hosted “Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings” on Disney+ since 2018. The couple married on Dec. 10, 2013, and had just celebrated their ninth anniversary.

Boss is survived by his wife and their three children: Weslie, 14, Maddox, 6, and Zaia, 3.
