Stephen "tWitch" Boss faced a huge problem before his death, a theory claimed.
Police have since confirmed that tWitch died of a gunshot wound to the head on Tuesday. The Los Angeles Police said that it responded to the area after receiving a call for an "ambulance death investigation" at 11:20 a.m. local time.
His official autopsy result was released a day after the staff at Oak Tree Inn in Encino, California, found him inside his room's bathroom.
tWitch's suicide note was also found inside the small bag he brought upon checking in.
Although the case has been closed, "Stomp the Yard" star Columbus Short caused a buzz when he shared a theory about tWitch's death.
In a clip shared by a Twitter user, Boss' former co-star assumed that the late DJ probably invested in something that took his whole life savings.

"People made investments, people do a lot of things - this is just a theory," Short said. "What if you invested something that took your whole life savings, possibly? ... It gets rough."
He added that people do not know what others are going through. Although the world lost tWitch, the 40-year-old actor said the former "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" DJ's legacy would live on.
Theory About Stephen "tWitch" Boss' Death NOT True?
After Short shared his thoughts about Boss' death, a source close to the dancer dismissed the claims.
Per the New York Post, the insider revealed Short's unsubstantiated theory "is absolutely no truth."
Meanwhile, the suicide note found in his bag reportedly had a message that vaguely referenced the issues he had been dealing with. The police did not reveal what exactly tWitch wrote, but they clarified that the "So You Think You Can Dance" alum was not going through financial hardship.

On the other hand, people who saw him for the last time also did not see signs of distress. According to the motel's staff, they did not notice signs that he was in trouble when he got to the inn.
tWitch's grandfather, Eddy, also shared a similar sentiment as he shared his last words with him.
"He was the same happy-go-lucky person that he's always been. We had no indication that anything was out of the ordinary," the 84-year-old said. "He was a very humble, generous person. He brought light into everybody's lives. We're completely devastated right now."
