Joshua Allen of ‘So You Think You Can Dance’ Killed by Train

BREAKING: Joshua Allen, the acclaimed winner of season four of “So You Think You Can Dance,” has tragically died after being struck by a train in Fort Worth, Texas. Authorities confirm that Allen, aged 36, was involved in the incident early Tuesday morning around 1 a.m. and succumbed to his injuries at a local hospital.

The Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s office has reported that the cause and manner of death are currently pending investigation. Police responded to the scene near the intersection of Millbrook Lane and Nuffield Lane, where they discovered Allen after he had been hit by the train.

Christina Price, Allen’s representative, issued a heartfelt statement, highlighting his profound impact: “What stood out most about Joshua was his heart.” Price praised his extraordinary talent, noting that he possessed an innate ability for movement without formal training, and emphasized his dedication to teaching dance to children in Texas.

Allen’s family confirmed the news to TMZ, requesting “privacy and prayers” during this difficult time. He gained fame for his impressive performances on “So You Think You Can Dance,” where he dazzled judges with his diverse dance styles, including contemporary and Bollywood. His journey on the show culminated in him winning the grand prize, surpassing competitors like Stephen “Twitch” Boss, who tragically passed away in December 2022.

In a moving tribute to Boss, Allen expressed his love for him on Instagram, stating, “NO WORDS will ever be enough to explain the LOVE I have for you Stephen.” Price commented on the emotional toll of losing both talents, saying, “It’s heartbreaking to now be grieving Joshua as well.”

Beyond his reality TV success, Allen appeared in various productions, including a McDonald’s commercial, the first season of “American Horror Story,” as well as films like “Freak Dance,” “Step Up 3D,” and the 2011 remake of “Footloose.” His passion for dance extended into teaching, where he inspired many through workshops and competitions.

However, Allen’s career was marred by legal challenges in 2016 when he faced serious charges related to domestic violence, which led to his departure from the show as a mentor for Season 13. He pleaded no contest and received a one-year jail sentence.

As fans mourn the loss of this talented artist, the dance community reflects on the legacy he leaves behind. Authorities are expected to provide updates as investigations continue into the circumstances surrounding Allen’s tragic death. For now, his friends, family, and fans are left grappling with this profound loss.
