Derek Hough’s heart is in shambles.
The dance pro recently shared PSA about suicide in the wake of Stephen “tWitch” Boss’ own death.
The former “Ellen Show” DJ took his own life earlier this week at age 40. He died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
On Friday, Hough pleaded with his followers to seek help if they or someone they know is suffering from suicidal thoughts.
He explained how a man he knew died by suicide on Thanksgiving morning.
Hough originally planned to make the PSA a week ago, but he didn’t.
tWitch’s death really struck a cord in the dancer and Hough decided to finally sit down and make the video.
“Now I'm learning about our friend Stephen and the fact that he went the exact same way as this man within a few weeks… it's just heartbreaking, confusing, shocking.”
He captioned the video with the phone number to the National Suicide and Prevention Lifeline.
