Officers received a report of a deceased person at Sheets' home at around 2:00 a.m. on Wednesday and he was pronounced dead at the scene, with his body transferred to the Mohave County Medical Examiner's Office.

“Upon arrival, officers located a male subject who suffered from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head,” the release states via PEOPLE. “The male was pronounced deceased on scene, and the Lake Havasu City Police Department’s Criminal Investigations Unit was notified and responded to the scene to assume the investigation.

“The body was ultimately turned over to the Mohave County Medical Examiner’s office for further investigation. The male subject has been identified as Darrell Sheets, a 67-year-old resident of Lake Havasu City, and Darrell’s family has been notified.”

Sheets appeared on 163 episodes of the A&E series Storage Wars from 2010 to 2023 before retiring to Lake Havasu, having operated his own antique shop called Havasu Show Me Your Junk. The former television star had dealt with health issues, which included being hospitalized after suffering a heart attack and needing surgery in March 2019.
