Sheets was pronounced dead at the scene, and his death is still under active investigation.
“Storage Wars” star Laura Dotson said Sheets was “terrified for his life” in the years before his death due to alleged cyberbullying.
“His family told us that this has been happening for three years,” Dotson, who appears on the show with her husband, Dan Dotson, told Us Weekly. “[It happens to] even strong men that you think aren’t gonna get their feelings hurt. Cyberbullying is a real thing. This made him feel less than, and it really obviously bothered him.
“He was terrified for his life [and] for the people around him. He didn’t know why he was being targeted.”
Lake Havasu City Police Department public information officer Sergeant Kyle Ridgway confirmed that the accusations were being investigated.

“We are aware of these cyberbullying accusations, and that is a part of the active investigation,” Ridgway told Fox News Digital.
Shortly after Sheets’ death, “Storage Wars” co-star Rene Nezhoda uploaded a video to Instagram, claiming his friend was being cyberbullied online.
“Darrell has been posting a lot about the guy that’s been cyberbullying him and tormenting him, and I really hope [law enforcement] look into that guy, and it’s just not a pass,” Nezhoda said in the video.
Sheets became famous as a main buyer on “Storage Wars,” a reality show that follows bidders competing to buy abandoned storage units. He appeared in more than 160 episodes, starting in 2010.
He earned the nickname “The Gambler” during his time on the show due to his high-risk bids on storage units.
