Storage Wars' Darrell Sheets Was "Terrified for His Life" Before Death, Says Costar

Storage Wars star Darrell Sheets died Wednesday, April 22, 2026, at age 67 from an apparent suicide in his Lake Havasu City, Arizona, home after police responded to a reported deceased individual.
Known as 'The Gambler' for his high-risk bidding, Sheets appeared on more than 160 episodes of Storage Wars from 2010 to 2023 before opening his antique shop, Havasu Show Me Your Junk, in Arizona.
Authorities are investigating cyberbullying claims involving Sheets, with costars Rene Nezhoda and Dave Hester acknowledging recent online harassment; Sergeant Kyle Ridgway of the Lake Havasu City Police Department confirmed these accusations are part of the active investigation.
A&E Network will honor Sheets with an in-memoriam card during Saturday's new episode, alongside a marathon of past episodes from Seasons 1 to 15, remembering him as a 'beloved member of our Storage Wars family.'
In the years preceding his death, Sheets spoke openly about depression, writing "Depression is the Devil's way of attacking us," and urged others to be kind; those in crisis can call or text the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 988.
