Darrell Sheets’ autopsy report has added a final official layer to the death of the Storage Wars star: toxicology came back negative, and the Mohave County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled the case a suicide. The report, obtained exclusively on Wednesday, May 27, says officials found no drugs in his system after testing his blood for benzos, cocaine, fentanyl and other substances.

The findings matter because Sheets was a familiar face to reality TV viewers and because the report leaves little doubt about the medical conclusion. He appeared on more than 160 episodes of Storage Wars from 2010 to 2023 and was known to fans for the line, “This is the WOW factor!” After leaving the show, he launched Havasu Show Me Your Junk, keeping a local profile in Lake Havasu City, Arizona.

That public image made the circumstances around his death harder to read once police in Arizona began looking into claims that he had been bullied online before he died. In the weeks before his suicide, Sheets confronted alleged cyberbullies on social media, a detail that has drawn attention even as the medical examiner’s office reached its conclusion. Lake Havasu City police said officers were dispatched on April 22, 2026, at about 0200 hours to a home in the 1500 block of Chandler Drive, where they found a male subject who appeared to have suffered a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head and was pronounced dead at the scene.

The criminal investigations unit took over at the residence, and the autopsy report noted tattoos on Sheets, including a female figure, the number 58, a joker and a checkered flag, though none of that changed the ruling. A&E said it was saddened by the loss of a beloved member of its Storage Wars family, Darrell “The Gambler” Sheets, while Original Productions said it was deeply saddened by the death of the longtime cast member. The open question now is not how he died, but whether investigators ever find evidence that the online abuse claims had any direct link to what happened.
