Darrell Sheets, known as “The Gambler” from Storage Wars, has died at 67 from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to police in Lake Havasu City.
Following his death, former co-star Rene Nezhoda said Sheets had been facing “merciless” online harassment in recent months. Despite their on-screen rivalry, he described their real-life friendship and urged authorities to consider the impact of cyberbullying in the investigation.
Sheets, who appeared in over 160 episodes from 2010–2023, was known for taking big risks on storage auctions and often scoring valuable finds. After retiring, he ran an antique store in Arizona.
In one of his final posts, he claimed he was being stalked and harassed online for years, raising concerns about the role cyberbullying may have played in his death.
