Autopsy report for Storage Wars' Darrell Sheets reveals sad new details about his death

The autopsy report for Storage Wars star Darrell Sheets has revealed heartbreaking details about his death.

According to documents obtained by Us Weekly, toxicology testing carried out as part of the investigation came back negative, with no drugs found in the 67-year-old's system.

The report stated that tests were conducted for substances including benzodiazepines, cocaine, fentanyl, and other drugs, but all results were negative.

The medical examiner’s report also described Sheets’ body as "that of a well-developed, well-nourished adult male".

This comes after the Mohave County Medical Examiner’s Office has officially confirmed that Sheets died by suicide.

The 67-year-old was found dead at his home in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, on April 22.

According to the Lake Havasu Police Department, officers responded to the scene around 2AM and discovered Sheets had died from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.

"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," police said in a statement at the time.

Police later confirmed that the late star's body was "ultimately turned over to the Mohave County Medical Examiner’s office for further investigation" after he was identified.

Son Brandon Sheets shares emotional tribute

In the days following his father’s death, the reality TV star's son, Brandon Sheets, shared an emotional tribute on social media.

He wrote: "My heart is so broken. . . I love you Dad and I will do my best to live in your honor and respect our Family. Let's all continue to build those memories and keep the legacy that is 'Darrell (The Gambler) Sheets'."

Brandon, who appeared alongside his father on Storage Wars under the nickname "Sidebet," acknowledged he was not yet ready to publicly discuss the circumstances surrounding his father’s death.

"I can't answer everyone's questions or concerns right now, I think we all just need time to process and remember all the good that my Father was and will continue to be through my Son and I. The love we all have for this man and all his kindness is only a small portion of who he truly is," he added.

Cyberbullying allegations

Following Sheets' death, close friend and Storage Wars co-star René Nezhoda publicly alleged that the reality star had been dealing with severe cyberbullying in the months leading up to his death.

In a video shared on Instagram, the 49-year-old said: "Darrell has been posting a lot about the guy that’s been cyberbullying him and tormenting him, and I really hope [law enforcement] look into that guy and it’s just not a pass."

Laura Dotson later claimed Sheets had been deeply affected by the alleged harassment.

"His family told us that this has been happening for three years," she said. "Cyberbullying is a real thing. This made him feel less than, and it really obviously bothered him."

Sergeant Kyle Ridgway, public information officer for the Lake Havasu City Police Department, later confirmed authorities were investigating the allegations.

A&E and family pay tribute to Storage Wars star

Sheets starred on Storage Wars from 2010 until his retirement in 2023, appearing in 163 episodes of the hit A&E series.

In the years before his death, he had spoken publicly about serious health struggles, including a heart attack and congestive heart failure in 2019.

After leaving the show, Sheets relocated to Arizona and operated an antique store called Havasu Show Me Your Junk.
