Stephen "tWitch" Boss' Death
Before the Celebration of Life, Stephen "tWitch" Boss' death got surrounded by a buzz claiming that his experience due to Ellen DeGeneres' "toxic workplace" scandal contributed to his death.
"RuPaul's Drag Race" judge Todrick told Page Six that the issue put tWitch under a lot of pressure.
"I don't know what was going on in his life that may have led him to make that decision, but I do understand," he said. "Right now when I get online some days like right now, if I was in the wrong position of where this abuse would keep happening for years and years and years, there's only so much a human being can take."

Police found a suicide note inside the hotel room where he shot himself. The Los Angeles Police Department did not disclose what exactly the letter said, but they cited the past challenges tWitch went through before he died.
