“Upon arrival, officers located a male subject who suffered from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head,” according to the report. “The male was pronounced deceased on scene, and the Lake Havasu City Police Department’s Criminal Investigations Unit was notified and responded to the scene to assume the investigation.”
Who Was Darrell Sheets?
Sheets became a fan favorite on Storage Wars thanks to his bold bidding style, which earned him the nickname “The Gambler.” Over the years, he gained recognition for taking big risks on storage units, sometimes uncovering valuable and surprising items.
He later stepped away from the show and moved to Lake Havasu City, Arizona.
According to US Weekly, Sheets’ co-stars are reportedly stepping up in an incredible way and helping with the costs of his funeral expenses.
“[Darrell’s family] might just do something small and quaint and easy for them. I know that we would all chip in and help and try to make it right for them if they had anything else in mind that they would want to do,” Dan Dotson, one of the show’s former stars, told the outlet.
