Joshua Allen, the winner of So You Think You Can Dance season 4, has died at age 36. A family member told TMZ that he was struck by a train and died at a nearby hospital on Tuesday.

A family member of Joshua Allen told TMZ that the dancer died after being hit by a train. The Fort Worth Police Department in Texas confirmed to the news outlet that they got a call on Tuesday about a person who was struck by a train.

Allen, who won the fourth season of So You Think You Can Dance, was taken to the hospital after he was hit, where he tragically died at age 36.

“One of the last things he said was to keep God first at all times. You have to be real with yourself before you can be real with anybody else,” the family source told TMZ.

Joshua Allen rose to fame after winning the fourth season of the popular dance television contest in 2008 at age 18.

He continued dancing for many years and starred in several films, including Step Up 3D in 2010 and Footloose the following year. Moreover, he appeared in a 2011 episode of American Horror Story.

Champion. 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.”
