*The mother of Stephen “tWitch” Boss, is speaking out about her son’s death for the first time since he died by suicide in December.
Connie Boss tells People that when she found out about the dancer’s death, suicide “was not my first thought, that it had been his hand,” she said.
“Sometimes it feels like it was just yesterday, and then other times it feels like it’s been so long since I’ve seen him,” shared Connie.
“When I think about him, I try not to dwell on how he left this earth,” she added. “This is not totally the end. That is where my peace comes from.”
Connie said she last spoke to the father of three when Boss checked in to see how she was doing after an illness.
“I’d been sick, so he texted to ask how I was feeling,” said Connie. “That was the last time we talked. To the extent that Stephen may have been in a Black depression — no, not Stephen. He was so in tune with analyzing and trying to make himself better, reading self-help books, so this came as a complete shock.”
As previously reported, Boss was found dead in a Los Angeles motel room from a self-inflicted gunshot wound on Dec. 13. He was 40. According to legal documents, obtained by The Blast, Boss was completely sober when he took his own life.
“I remember screaming or falling to my knees. The rest of the day is more of a blur,” Connie told People about her reaction to learning of her son’s death. She has been doing deep “introspection” in the months since his passing.
“You find yourself in a lot of introspection, a lot of looking back. Did I miss something? Did he mean something when he said this?” she said. “At this point, I’m in realization, I guess,” she said.
“When I wake up in the morning, it does hit me that, oh my God, he really is not physically here. But then in my head I can hear him say, ‘Hey, Mom. I’m OK.’”
