Darrell Sheets, the fan-favorite former cast member of Storage Wars, is being remembered not just for his booming personality and unforgettable moments but also for the concerning circumstances that surrounded his final days. Amid the news of his death, rumors of online harassment have spread. So, who exactly was cyberbullying Sheets before he died?
Here’s what we know so far about the situation.
Known to viewers as “The Gambler,” Sheets became one of the most recognizable faces on Storage Wars. His bold bidding style and knack for uncovering valuable treasures in abandoned storage lockers became a staple on the show.
Off-screen, Sheets was a longtime storage auction buyer who built his career through years of experience. His most famous on-screen moment came when he bought a locker that ultimately contained artwork worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Later in his reality TV career, Sheets stepped back from the spotlight to focus on his health and personal life. However, his connection with fans remained strong through social media.
Details surrounding Sheets’ death have left fans heartbroken. While he had previously battled health issues — including a heart attack in 2019 — he was found dead from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to the Lake Havasu City Police Department.
As of now, the exact cause of death has yet to be determined. Police are investigating Sheets’ death.
