Storage Wars Star Blamed Online Bullying in Suicide Note
Police say a handwritten note blamed Facebook bullying and a recent family dispute as investigators reviewed the Storage Wars star’s death.
- On July 8, 2026, the Lake Havasu City Police Department released records revealing that 'Storage Wars' star Darrell Sheets left a suicide note before his death on April 22, 2026. The incident report details his final days, including personal conflicts and allegations of cyberbullying.
- Before his death, Sheets reported being 'hacked by a very evil person' and dealing with a male 'slandering his name,' causing him significant stress. He also reportedly fought with his son, Brandon, over 'family drama' shortly before he passed away.
- A handwritten note described as 'shaky' was found by investigators in a bathroom closet, reading, 'I could not take anymore the Facebook bulling, f*** you.' On the night of his death, his girlfriend told police she heard one gunshot after pleading with him.
- An individual alleged to be the online bully was interviewed by investigators, who described him as 'extremely uncooperative' and noted he denied involvement, claiming he had received 'death threats.' Separately, family and former castmates recently held a celebration of life for the star.
- Help is available for those struggling with suicidal thoughts by calling or texting 988 at any time. Sheets, nicknamed 'The Gambler' during his 13 seasons on 'Storage Wars,' retired to Arizona to open an antiques store before his death.
