Shortly after tWitch took his own life at age 40, the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner confirmed that he died by a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head and there were "no signs of foul play."
And according to the new autopsy and police report obtained by Us Weekly on May 24, no drugs or alcohol were found in the former dancer and choreographer's system at the time of his passing.
The documents also showed that Dancing with the Stars alum Allison Holker, tWitch's late wife, told police officers late last year that "to her knowledge, [tWitch] does not have a history of suicide attempts or suicidal ideation."
Allison also told officials at the time of her husband's death that he did "not have any mental health problems [and] does not have any financial issues or marital problems."
TWitch was found dead on December 13 in a Los Angeles motel, the Oak Tree Inn in Encino, CA, which was less than one mile from his house.
Allison and tWitch, who met on So You Think You Can Dance in 2010 and got married at a Paso Robles winery in December 2013, had just celebrated their ninth wedding anniversary a few days before tWitch took his own life.
They had three children: son Maddox, 7, and daughters Weslie, 14, and Zaia, 3.
Maddox was born in March 2016, and Allison gave birth to Zaia in November 2019. Allison welcomed Weslie from a previous relationship, but tWitch adopted her as his daughter.
Conducting her first television interview since tWitch's death, Allison sat down with TODAY's Hoda Kotb in early May and revealed she doesn't allow herself to live "in a place of anger or sadness," nor is she holding onto any resentment towards tWitch.
Not long after tWitch's passing, Allison penned a sweet message to her longtime love in early January on Instagram.
"To my husband, best friend, babe, Chee-chalker, Superman and father of my children I LOVE YOU FOREVER and ALWAYS!" Allison wrote at the time, sharing a slideshow of pictures from the couple's engagement and wedding.

"We will forever remember you as the true beacon of light that you were and we will continue to cast your light and love throughout the world. Thank you for our incredible memories and our beautiful life shared together."
When tWitch's tragic passing first made headlines, Allison confirmed his death in a statement without revealing any details.
"It is with the heaviest of hearts that I have to share my husband Stephen has left us," Allison said late last year.
"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."
She continued, "To say he left a legacy would be an understatement, and his positive impact will continue to be felt. 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, we love you, we miss you, and I will always save the last dance for you," she concluded.
TWitch rose to fame as a contestant Season 4 of So You Think You Can Dance in 2008, when he finished as the runner-up.
Allison and tWitch were also All-Star dancers on Season 7 of So You Think You Can Dance in 2010, when the pair connected romantically.

TWitch was also a semifinalist on MTV's The Wade Robson Project in 2003 as well as the runner-up on Star Search.
For her part, Allison competed as a pro partner on Seasons 19, 20, 21, and 23 of Dancing with the Stars. The highest she ever placed was second with Riker Lynch on Season 20.
