Following his tragic death, it has now been reported that Stephen 'tWitch' Boss left a note detailing his past struggles before he died.

The heartbreaking news comes just two days after it was announced that the 40-year-old had taken his own life in a hotel room in Los Angeles.

As per TMZ, law enforcement officials told the outlet that Boss had taken an Uber from his home to a motel less than a mile away on Monday morning, switching his phone to airplane mode so no one could reach or track him.

His wife, Allison Holker, had rushed to the police station just a day later after noticing that her husband hadn't been in contact, which she described as very unusual of him especially since the couple hadn't been experiencing any "arguments or issues" at home.

Meanwhile, at the motel, management was forced to enter Boss' room after he failed to check out the following morning. Upon entering, they discovered his belongings still in the room before finding his body in the bathroom and immediately called emergency services.

According to Us Weekly, an employee who was working there the night of the tragic incident said that "everything was normal, nothing was weird" ahead of Boss being found dead.

According to new reports from TMZ, Boss reportedly left a note before his death, which "ambiguously" alluded to the professional dancer's "past challenges," but later went on to add that it was "unclear exactly what he was referring to..."

On Wednesday, his wife confirmed The Ellen Show star's passing in an emotional statement to PEOPLE Magazine.

"It is with the heaviest of hearts that I have to share my husband Stephen has left us," the 34-year-old said.

"To say he left a legacy would be an understatement, and his positive impact will continue to be felt," she continued. "I am certain there won't be a day that goes by that we won't honor his memory. We ask for privacy during this difficult time for myself and especially for our three children."

"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."

"Stephen, we love you, we miss you, and I will always save the last dance for you," Allison concluded the statement.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family during this incredibly difficult time.
