A newly uncovered incident report from the Lake Havasu City Police Department reveals that former reality television star Darrell Sheets left a handwritten note referencing online harassment prior to his death on April 22.
According to documents obtained by Entertainment Weekly, a crime scene technician located the note inside a black basket within a bathroom closet near where the 67-year-old "Storage Wars" alum was found.
The writing, described by authorities as shaky, specifically targeted online abuse and was drafted on the reverse side of a document dated Feb.
20, 2026.
"I could not take anymore the Facebook bulling [sic], f--- you [redacted]," read the note.
During the subsequent death investigation, detectives uncovered a history of escalating digital conflicts and family stress that troubled Sheets during his final months.
The investigator interviewed the reality star's brother, who stated that Sheets claimed to have a stalker as early as January.
This was followed by a public statement from Sheets regarding a compromised social media profile.
"Been hacked by a very evil person," Sheets announced.
The social media post indicated that the situation had severely impacted his well-being and security, causing people to show up at his workplace with hostile intentions.
"I'm extremely sorry and sick over this, these people have ruined me… people are showing up to my work and wanting to harm me," he added.
Sheets further expressed frustration with social media platform policies and concluded his post with a specific warning regarding a couple from Keizer, Oregon.
"If something happens to me, it was [redacted] and his wife," he wrote.
The investigating detective attempted to contact the accused individuals, but the male suspect remained uncooperative during an anonymous return phone call, stating only that he had not been near Arizona.
Additional context came from Sheets' girlfriend, who told police that a male slandering his name had caused Sheets severe stress and insomnia.
This was compounded by a dispute with his son, Brandon, days before the suicide.
On April 21, the girlfriend alleged that a text message from Brandon's wife slandered her and accused her of financial theft, leaving Sheets highly upset before he went into his office with a firearm later that night.
Following the tragedy, family members and former castmates gathered on June 29 to hold a memorial service for the television personality.
"Yesterday was everything we could have hoped for and more," captioned Kimber Wuerfel, his former wife.
The memorial turnout brought together individuals from various chapters of Sheets' life to share memories and honor his legacy.
"Family and friends traveled from near and far to celebrate Darrell's life, share stories, laugh, cry, and remember the man we all loved so much.
The turnout was incredible, and seeing friends from every chapter of his life together in one place was truly unforgettable," Wuerfel wrote.
