Darrell Sheets wrote in an apparent suicide note that he could not take the Facebook bullying anymore, according to a new police report obtained on Wednesday, July 8. The note adds a direct, written link between Sheets and the online harassment allegations that surrounded his death in Lake Havasu City, Arizona.
The note included the line, “I could not take anymore, the Facebook bullying,” and also, “F*** you, [redacted].” It was found in a black basket in a bathroom on top of a pile of other documents, and it was written on the back of a document dated February 20, 2026. Sheets died at age 67 on April 22, and his death was later ruled a suicide.
Lake Havasu City report
Sheets had already pushed the dispute into public view in March, when he wrote on Facebook that he had been hacked by “a very evil person.” He also wrote, “People are showing up to my work and wanting to harm me. The police are aware of this but [their] hands are tied because Facebook allows this and it is very bad.”
That earlier post matters because the police report does not treat the bullying claim as an afterthought. The Lake Havasu City Police Department said in April that it was aware of the cyberbullying accusations and that the claims were part of the active investigation, placing the note inside an open case rather than a closed explanation.
Sheets and the dispute
Police made contact with the person Sheets appeared to blame, and that person told police he was “nowhere near” Lake Havasu City or Arizona in the days leading up to Sheets’ death. He also said he was receiving “death threats,” which turns the report into a dispute over who was doing what, where, and when.
Sheets had also written in March, “I have been hacked by a very evil person,” and, “The clown. [The posts] are not done by me, they are being done by … very evil people. I’m not gay, I have made no posts about any children’s arcade owner, etc. I’m extremely sorry and sick over this.” He added, “He said he would, please understand it is not me,” then went further: “He has been going after other small businesses in town and harassing them, using my name.”
Storage Wars after April 22
Sheets appeared on A&E’s Storage Wars from 2010 to 2023, and A&E said, “We are saddened by the passing of a beloved member of our Storage Wars family, Darrell ‘The Gambler’ Sheets.” Toxicology analysis from the autopsy report came back negative for drugs, leaving the written note and the social-media dispute as the clearest public record of what Sheets said was happening around him.
The most pressing unanswered point is simple: what exactly happened in the alleged Facebook bullying and who wrote the disputed posts? Until that is explained, the report functions less like a final answer than a record of a conflict that moved from Facebook into a police file.
