The autopsy report for Storage Wars star Darrell Sheets has been completed, providing new details about his death at the age of 67. Known as “The Gambler” on the A+E Networks reality show, Sheets was found dead at his home in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, on April 22. The Mohave County Medical Examiner’s Office earlier this month ruled his death a suicide.
Autopsy Findings
According to the autopsy report obtained by Us Weekly on Wednesday, Sheets had no drugs in his system at the time of his death. His blood was tested for benzodiazepines, cocaine, fentanyl, and other substances, all of which came back negative. The report described Sheets as “a well-developed, well-nourished adult male.”
Police Investigation
The Lake Havasu City Police Department previously stated that Sheets’s death was “ruled a suicide, pending the completion of toxicology results.” The department continues to investigate allegations of cyberbullying linked to the case. “The Criminal Investigations Unit has submitted Darrell Sheets’ cellular phone for forensic analysis and is currently awaiting the results,” the department said in a statement. “This investigative step is essential to advancing the case. Additional information will be released as it becomes available.”
On the day of Sheets’s death, his Storage Wars co-star René Nezhoda claimed that Sheets had been subjected to intense cyberbullying. “Rest in peace Darrell Sheets. Also I know Darrell would want something positive out of this, so he had a guy that was really really tormenting him lately. Cyberbullying,” Nezhoda said in a video shared on Instagram.
Authorities have urged anyone with information about the cyberbullying to contact Lake Havasu City police at 928-855-1171.
