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.
