Stephen Boss, a dancer, DJ and former executive producer of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, died on Dec. 13 at age 40. The Los Angeles County medical examiner-coroner’s office has ruled his death a suicide. On social media, some people are spreading unfounded rumors that Boss — who was known as tWitch — died because of the COVID-19 vaccine. Why do we so personally and quickly know that Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss supposedly committed suicide? one tweet said, using the hashtag of a movie that promotes false conspiracy theories about the COVID-19 vaccine. So you don’t dare consider the #vaccine was the cause of his death! Hide the reason COVID vaccine, another tweet said. Too many dying too early. Investigate. My guess is another vaccine tragedy, said yet another . The performer’s cause of death is available on the Los Angeles County medical examiner-coroner’s website and says Boss died from a self-inflicted injury. The medical examiner-coroner didn’t list any other significant conditions. In statements to publications including People magazine, Boss’ wife didn’t mention the COVID-19 vaccine. We found no evidence connecting Boss’ death to the COVID-19 vaccine — only unsubstantiated claims on social media. We rate them False. (en)
