A Mohave County autopsy report confirmed Storage Wars star Darrell Sheets died by suicide from a self-inflicted gunshot wound and found no drugs in his system.
April 22 police were dispatched around 2 a.m. to a Lake Havasu City home, where officers found the 67-year-old dead at the scene with a gunshot wound to the head.
Toxicology tests on Sheets' blood screened for substances including benzos, cocaine and fentanyl, but the medical examiner reported all results were negative.
Police have also been investigating claims Sheets was bullied online before his death; he had publicly confronted alleged cyberbullies in the weeks beforehand.
Sheets appeared in more than 160 episodes of Storage Wars from 2010 to 2023, and A&E and Original Productions called him a defining figure in the show's legacy.
