Just wish that ppl realized that somewhere there is a wife, mother, and children who are experiencing the most gut wrenching pain right now and to keep anything other than well wishes to yourself. One day, this man’s younger children may see the things some ppl post online. Be respectful!

      Depression is a dark path, I’ve been there, wondering if it would even matter if I was gone. I’m so sad by his loss, as I sincerely loved his presence, his smile, his love for his family, music and dance. He was truly a genuine soul and now I’ve learned, he was dealing with something bigger and dark. I have no words other than my heart is broken, for his last moments, the darkness that took over, his wife and his kids. It’s so heartbreaking for so many and I’m so sorry for Allison and his kids I can’t even imagine how they are navigating through this, on a different level that those of us who didn’t personally know him. My heart is broken for everyone who loved and adored him.

    I think that he was a very sensitive man,he kept his worries and problems to himself,he gave all his best to his family,friends and everyone else. The problem with this is that he kept his demons bottled up inside,and if we don't talk about it with our family,or a therapist,the pressure builds up,and one day it explode and we can't controlled it,then we can take two ways,hurt ourselves or hurt others,he decided to take his own life. It's sad that he never found the chance to open up and share his burdens and let people help him. We all need to learn not to be ashamed of feeling bad,not pretend to be always happy when our heart is crying,it's not a sign of weakness to cry,to feel sad. We are humans,not robots, and our emotions need to be acknowledge,shared and expressed.

    I have worked with both him and Allison on 2 different shows. I did SYTYCD and Hit the Floor, where Allison did a lot of the choreography for the girls.
    When I tell you there was not a sweeter couple? He was always ready to give a hug, and talk about hip hop, dance, music, life whatever.
    He absolutely LOVED his wife and she loved him... this is so devastating. 💔😭Allison honestly is one of the kindest most loving and down-to-earth people I've ever met while filming. She and I had a long conversation about interracial dating & marriage (I'm a BW who at the time was dating a white man) and just how you have to be strong and fight for your love and how it's so important to be open when it comes to dating.
    We talked about music and how they met, and just life. They were both so very loving. My heart is broken on this you guys. I was on set when I heard the news and I got mad because I thought who said it was lying... so I Googled and immediately broke into a run. Don't even know where I was going.

      I have to agree with another comment I saw that said you covered this situation and other heartbreaking stories with compassion, Thank You!!
      It always breaks my heart when another person feels that the best thing for them to do is take their life. To know that someone is hurting so badly and that they felt there was nothing else they could do moving forward is so sad. I’ve personally know a few people who have done the same and who thought they were a burden on loved ones, an embarrassment or that there was nothing that could be done to help get through what they were struggling with.
      I remember people speculating on why they felt that was the only way or spreading rumors about what they heard the person did to end their life. I feel like others don’t realize that them gossiping about why or how it may have happened is disrespectful and hurts that persons loved ones and does nothing to help.
      When I heard Twitch’s “friend” speculate about his passing I couldn’t believe it. It felt as though Columbus was using Twitch’s passing to possibly guilt or shame the woman who hadn’t supposedly paid him and possibly Twitch, into paying him what she “allegedly” owed them. That’s not a friend and it doesn’t help the family.
      I hope everyone thinks about what they say regarding this sort of thing and that they give the family the respect of speaking when or if they’ll be ready to do so.
      This may sound cliche but it’s a true statement, check on your loved ones regardless of how strong they seem. If you do see someone struggling let them know you are there and help them find resources to get them through whatever it is they’re going through. I hope anyone going through a bad situation or who think that their family and friends won’t understand or that others will think they are weak for seeking help will realize that’s not the case. With so much negativity in the world we really do need to make am effort to lift each other up.
      Twitch was such a bright light in this world and he will is missed greatly. My heart goes out to his family and friends.
      Again, thank you Kempire for showing compassion when covering stories such as this as well as stating facts and not speculations.
      Anyone out there that’s struggling know that you matter and that there’s always a better and less permanent way. Please call 988 if you need help.

It requires treatment like with any other disease, and like with any other disease, sometimes treatment does not work.

      ​@@GG-qy2wy - My condolences on the tragic loss of your son Miguel. 💗Thank you for calling out that commenter for her or his inconsiderate, ill-informed and judgmental comment, and sharing your perspective as a grieving parent. On another video reporting tWitch's death, one commenter was flooding almost every thread with that same and other hurtful comments, and thankfully, others set him or her straight. I was going to, but others did before me. It can be draining and there can be backlash.
      I've struggled with mental health issues, including C-PTSD (from childhood trauma), depression, OCD and a personality disorder, that have led me to some very dark and hopeless thinking at times. I've been taking Rx meds and had therapy over the past 30 years, when it's been available and covered by government health insurance. I'm in Canada, but demand is high & mainly psychiatrists and psychologists at hospital clinics are covered. Some community health centres also have therapists and social workers, free of charge (but are often booked up). I can only imagine how daunting it must be in the USA, with outrageously high medical costs for those without insurance, workplace coverage or Medicare, to get psychiatric support.
      18 years ago, I was on a wait list for *3 years* for a specific, year-long treatment program, during which time, my mental health further deteriorated (due to a number of simultaneous stressors: home, work, mother dying of cancer), but once in it, the program was very helpful, and I've been proactive and resourceful in seeking similar but shorter-term programs in the years since. I can't afford private therapy, but I have acquired a number of coping skills, including mindfulness practice, examining my thoughts, self-talk and behaviours, and halting unproductive ones.
      For the past decade, I've become a vocal advocate for reducing the *stigma* and *shame* around mental health and addictions issues, because that bias can often _prevent_ those who need and could benefit from professional support, from _seeking it._ Many of my friends/acquaintances (and strangers in comment sections) disagree with my stance on curbing the use of _ableist language/labels_ (i.e. crazy, nuts, mental, insane, stupid, schizo, lame, retarded, etc), which are often "shortcuts," whether describing people with MH issues, or everyday things, like: traffic jams, lineups, minor inconveniences, and even "fun" things - when adjectives like: annoying, wild, bizarre, unbelievable, incredible, ignorant, thoughtless, moody, weak, ridiculous, etc - are *more accurate* and *descriptive* in conveying our thoughts, without harming others. Words can _hurt;_ it doesn't take much effort to make better, ethical choices.
      I sincerely hope your pain subsides as time passes, and that you have the support of caring individuals to heal. Take good care, 💔❤‍🩹💖🕊

When someone has a illness like this it is very hard to care for someone I give her the strength and the courage to go on and take care of her family. Y’all everyone just take a step back and check up on your loved ones that is what family is and does. Even your friends who are not your family say hey you good . Also neighbors start loving one another . The memories will live on in dance. The pain never goes away nor the hurt but seeing family go on and move mountains that’s what is a proud moment. Love and prayers 🙏🙏🙏

    My heart breaks for him (his pain) his family/friends and anyone who knew him, his fans, this man had children and to leave your children there had to be absolutely a desperate measure bc no one willingly wants to leave their family, that “subconscious voice” or that pull inside of him to take that action, just breaks my heart even more....I have been on the edge at least twice in my life and things have always gotten better, it takes work/perseverance but I ended up staying for my son/daughter in law & grandbaby, then I decided to live for myself, it wasn’t easy but I’m so glad I didn’t cause them suffering...I’m sure Twitch was in too much pain to rationalize his situation or sort thru painful temporary feelings, whatever the case is that family will never be the same and maybe Twitch isn’t out of pain, we will never actually know but I do want to send out good healing vibes to his family and may he be free from the pain he felt here. ❤ it’s so sad, he brought so much joy to people of all ages and ethnicities.

    This tragedy is compounded by the fact that even though his pain ended, it begins with those he left behind. How is Allison, his children & mother to understand the unthinkable? To his children, they will forever wonder why he couldn't stay for them. Nigel Lythgoe, judge from SYTYCD, expressed an important observation: "Did he really have no one to talk with that could help him to unload some of his issues? How sad" It seems that he couldn't bear to tell even his wife of the dark thoughts he was having. Maybe that's due to the fact that as a man, it's harder for them to admit how hard they are struggling . The spotlight & support is mostly towards women who have mental health disorders and society expects men to toughen up, to do otherwise is weak. Another thing to wonder, if he did get some help & was on meds for his depression, could it have contributed to his declining mental health to do exactly what he did since that is a very possible side effect of psychiatric meds? His state of mind could have been compromised to do something that he would never do if he was thinking clearly.

    The thing about suicide is that everyone who loved that person feels guilty. They wonder if THEY were the cause or why the person who committed it didn't feel comfortable coming to them. Parents, spouse, children, friends, everyone will always wonder. I recall when Phyllis Hyman did the same thing, to this day people loved that woman. But talented people are often have a curse of sensitivity that comes with the gift. Twitch was a really gifted dancer. Excellent. Prayers to his crew.
