Storage Wars' Darrell Sheets Left Suicide Note, Police Report Reveals

Newly released police records are shedding light on the death of reality TV star Darrell Sheets from "Storage Wars." According to the Lake Havasu City Police incident report, Sheets left a suicide note mentioning online bullying before his death at his Arizona home.

The handwritten note, found in a black basket in a bathroom closet, read: "I could not take anymore the Facebook bullying, f*** you [redacted]." Police noted the handwriting appeared shaky. The note was a key piece of evidence in the investigation.

Sheets' girlfriend told detectives that on the night of his death, he couldn't sleep, got out of bed, and stood in the doorway of his office. When she saw him, he told her to "go back to bed," and then a single gunshot rang out. Body cam footage of officers arriving at the scene has been obtained by TMZ.

The report also details family tension in the days before his death. His son, Brandon, had recently visited, and the two argued over "family drama." Later, Sheets received text messages from his daughter-in-law accusing his girlfriend of being suspicious and stealing money, leaving him visibly upset.

His girlfriend said arguments with his son became so heated that she left the house at one point. Sheets told her he didn't want to be alone with his son and felt "sad as hell," believing he had let him down.

Investigators noted Sheets had been battling severe insomnia for months and was under tremendous stress. However, his girlfriend insisted he never talked about harming himself and described their relationship as strong in the weeks prior.

As previously reported, Sheets was found dead on April 22 after his girlfriend called 911. The medical examiner ruled his death a suicide. His son later paid tribute, calling him "the best dad a son could ask for," and announced he would reopen his father's store, Show Me Your Junk.

The mention of online bullying in the note sparked reactions: fellow "Storage Wars" star Rene Nezhoda claimed Sheets faced relentless online bullying, and police investigated the claim. This story highlights the serious impact of cyberbullying on mental health, especially for public figures.
