LAKE HAVASU, AZ—On May 27, the Mojave County Coroner’s Office announced the cause of death of the “Storage Wars,” star Darrell Sheets, also known as ‘The Gambler’ as a suicide, stating, “The body is that of a well-developed, well-nourished adult male.” The toxicology analysis came back negative for drugs.

US Weekly first reported that Sheet’s blood samples were tested for Benzos, cocaine, fentanyl, and other drugs. The ink from the tattoos that Sheets had did not factor into the cause of death. 

“On April 22, 2026, at approximately 0200, officers with the Lake Havasu City Police Department (LHCPD)t were dispatched to a residence in the 1500 block of Chandler Drive in reference to a reported deceased individual. Upon arrival, officers located a male subject who suffered from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. The male was pronounced deceased at the scene, and the Lake Havasu City Department’s Criminal Investigations Unit was notified and responded to the scene to assume the investigation,” stated the Lake Havasu Police Department.

Sheets leaves behind his son, Brandon, his daughter Tiffany, his granddaughter Zoie, whom he helped raise, and his life partner Kimber Wuerfel.
