Stephen Boss, best known as "DJ tWitch" on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," left a suicide note that hinted at the challenges and struggles he had faced in the past.

Authorities told TMZ that DJ tWitch's suicide note left at a Los Angeles motel where he committed suicide was an ambiguous reference to the 40-year-old's past challenges. It was reportedly not clear what he was referring to in the suicide note.

According to the investigation, DJ tWitch took an Uber from his home to the motel on Monday morning and then put his phone into airplane mode so no one could contact or track him. The Oak Tree Inn was a 15-minute walk from his home.

His wife, Allison Holker, was reportedly frantic when she ran into an LAPD police station on Tuesday morning to report that her husband was missing.

She said Boss left home without his car, which was not like him at all, and was not answering her calls. A short time later, paramedics were called for a medical emergency at the motel and found DJ tWitch dead inside the room's bathroom.

Stephen 'DJ tWitch' Boss' Death Sparks Mental Health and Suicide Discussions in Black Community

Stephen Boss' death has shocked the entertainment industry, and many have described him as a light that brightened each room he entered.

Professor of psychology at the University of Houston and author of "The Unapologetic Guide to Black Mental Health," Dr. Rheeda Walker, recently spoke with PEOPLE about the discussions that stemmed from DJ tWitch's suicide.

When asked if Boss' death led to more conversations about mental health and suicide, particularly in the Black community, Walker said that the deaths of model Cheslie Kryst and actress Regina King's son had already sparked these conversations earlier this year.

"People are hurting. I don't know if they're hurting 'more,' but we in the Black community have less of the community connectedness and cultural identity anchor that allowed us to weather generations of storms," she noted.

She added that the "seemingly happiest of individuals, invoking joy and sincere kindness wherever they go, are not immune."
