Joshua Allen, the winner of the fourth season of So You Think You Can Dance, tragically died at the age of 36. His family confirmed he died after being struck by a train near his home in Fort Worth, Texas. The incident occurred on Tuesday, September 30, and Allen passed away in hospital.
Allen first gained fame as a charismatic and talented dancer despite having little formal training. He won the competition in 2008 and later appeared in films like Step Up 3D and Footloose. He also featured in TV shows such as American Horror Story and Community.
Close friends and choreographers have paid heartfelt tributes, remembering Allen as a genuine and inspiring person. His final social media post was a tribute to late actor Malcolm-Jamal Warner.
