'Storage Wars' Star Darrell Sheets' Message on Suspected Suicide Note

The entertainment world was rocked by the news of the death of beloved "Storage Wars" star Darrell Sheets on April 22. The 67-year-old was found lifeless at his home in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, in what was later ruled a suicide.

Sheets' death grabbed headlines again on Wednesday after a new report emerged on a suspected suicide note. Entertainment Weekly obtained an incident report from the Lake Havasu City Police Department, in which a crime scene technician reportedly discovered a note "next to where the decedent was found."

Police said that the note was written on a document dated February 20, 2026, which is two months before Sheets took his own life.

According to Entertainment Weekly, the suspected suicide note contained a brief message in "shaky" handwriting.

"I could not take anymore the Facebook bulling [sic], [expletive] you [redacted]," the note read.

Before his death, Sheets publicly revealed that he had been hacked on Facebook. The reality TV star claimed that his identity was stolen and that this whole saga had brought him to distress.

Sheets' autopsy revealed that he died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. No drugs or narcotics were found in his system.

Sheets left behind his son, Brandon, his daughter, Tiffany, and his ex-wife Kimber Wuerfel. He has three grandchildren: Zoie, Addilyn and Laiden.

Famously known as "The Gambler," Sheets established himself as one of the most prominent core cast members of "Storage Wars." He earned his reputation for making high-risk bids to purchase lockers with the objective of finding valuable collectibles, art or antiques.

Sheets was one of the original cast members of the show when it premiered on the A&E Network in 2010. The show is still active and is currently on its 17th season.
