Joshua Allen, the 36-year-old winner of So You Think You Can Dance Season 4, tragically died on Tuesday, September 30, after being hit by a train in Texas.

Joshua Allen, who won season 4 of So You Think You Can Dance, has died and new details have emerged about his death. According to PEOPLE, Allen died on Tuesday, Sept. 30, and a family member has now told TMZ that he died after being hit by a train.
Allen, who won season 4 of the Fox reality show, was taken to the hospital after he was hit, where he died on Tuesday. He was 36. A family member told TMZ that the family is asking for "privacy and prayers" from fans.
What happened to Joshua Allen?
Joshua Allen's family member has confirmed the circumstances leading to his unfortunate death. While speaking to TMZ on October 1, 2025, a family member revealed that Joshua Allen was hit by a train, following which he was hospitalized near his residence in Texas. The death of Joshua Allen is being investigated after the Forth Worth Police Department received a call related to the train accident.“One of the last things he said was to keep God first at all times,” one of Allen's family members told TMZ. “You have to be real with yourself before you can be real with anybody else.” The source also said Allen was crucial in keeping their family close and always attended and arranged gatherings for the group.
Allen was a contemporary and close friend of the late Stephen “tWitch” Boss, who was his runner up — and who also left this world after dying by suicide in December 2022.

He wrote: “Can't wrap my head around this…Josh…my brotha. There are no words," Hurd wrote. "One of the realest people I ever met. Kept it a stack every time and would make it right if you fell short. A real King. This one hurts deep."
His cousin SaKaree Campbell also posted videos of Joshua smiling and dancing to her Instagram page and wrote “RIP cousin”.
Though the exact cause of Joshua Allen's death remains unknown, the police reportedly discovered Joshua Allen on the railway track near the intersection of Millbrook Lane and Nuffield Lane at around 1 am, as stated by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

Joshua Allen's last Instagram post
Joshua's last Instagram post was in July, when he uploaded a tribute to late actor Malcolm-Jamal Warner, who drowned off the coast of Costa Rica. Sharing a photo of pair together, he wrote: “Fly high King,” alongside the hashtag #GoneTooSoon. Now, fans have commented on that post to share their devastation that both men have died.“You both are gone too soon! Rest in Peace Josh!” one person wrote alongside a broken heart emoji and a sad face emoji. Another said: “RIP Josh!! I know you will continuing dancing in heaven.” A third person posted a cying face emoji and penned: “I can't believe this”.
The star was best known for winning the US reality dancing competition show back in 2008. He originally auditioned for SYTYCD in Dallas, Texas along with his friend and fellow contestant, Comfort Fedoke. He went on to be crowned on August 7 and was given a cash prize of $250,000.

After he won, he suprised many by revealing at that he actually had no technical dance training - but said he did do a small amount of practice before his audition. He told Entertainment Weekly at the time: “I took a few modern dance classes, ballet classes, because I felt that to be a better dancer I would have to take different classes, and expand my horizons in the art of dance. I didn't want to audition for the show not knowing anything.”
After his hugely successful first audition, there was a gap of a few months before he then moved to Las Vegas ahead of the live shows. He used that time to take “as many classes as [he] could” - and that was definitely worth it. He also revealed big dreams for his future at the time, saying he hoped to become a recording artist, but also that he wanted to choreograph and own a studio and company, as well as eventually own a record label and be a producer.
