Sheets rose to fame on A&E's Storage Wars, appearing in 13 seasons of the hit reality series and earning the nickname "The Gambler."

New York: New details have emerged about the death of Darrell Sheets, the former Storage Wars star, with a newly released police report indicating that the 67-year-old left a note referencing alleged online bullying before his death.
According to USA Today, the full incident report released by the Lake Havasu City Police Department states that Sheets died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound at his home in western Arizona on April 22.
Investigators said they found a handwritten note hidden in a closet near where Sheets was found. The note, written in what appeared to be shaky handwriting, read in part: "I could not take anymore the Facebook bulling."
Authorities had earlier confirmed they were investigating allegations of cyberbullying linked to the case after Sheets' Storage Wars co-star Rene Nezhoda claimed the reality TV personality had been repeatedly harassed online.
The report also states that detectives interviewed a man identified as the alleged online bully. According to investigators, the man was "extremely uncooperative," denied any involvement in Sheets' death and said he was "nowhere near" Arizona at the time. He also told police he had been receiving "death threats" and declined to answer further questions.
Sheets rose to fame on A&E's Storage Wars, appearing in 13 seasons of the hit reality series and earning the nickname "The Gambler." After leaving the show, he moved to Arizona, where he opened an antiques store.
