People knew a lot of things. This is just a theory … people are awful. Twitch was amazing … is still amazing. His legacy shall live on. But, what if you invest in something that took your whole life savings? Possibly. Yeah, it gets rough.”Based on Twitch's Instagram handle, the late 40-year-old star followed some accounts related to cryptocurrency, which led to the birth of the popular online theory.The unsubstantiated claims suggested that the deceased star lost his money in cryptocurrency after the now-defunct company FTX announced its bankruptcy.Twitter reacts to Columbus Short's theory on Twitch's demiseAfter Columbus Short's theory went viral on the internet, Twitterati was furious.

Reportedly, he died by suicide from a self-inflicted gunshot.According to the Daily Mail, the motel workers stated that a maid found his body in the motel bathroom after he failed to check out on time.They also said that Boss had shot himself in the head, but no one heard the gunshot since the motel is located on a busy street."He went into his room, and he never came out. At 11.15 am on Tuesday the maid opened the door to check on the room. There was his stuff in there but no one there. She checked the bathroom, and there was blood everywhere. She was very scared. This is the first time anything like that has happened here. We called 911, they told us to check his pulse but there was nothing."Several celebrities, including his longtime friend Ellen DeGeneres, paid tribute to the deceased personality.
