Darrell Sheets, of 'Storage Wars,' left note citing 'Facebook harassment' before death

A note left by Darrell Sheets, a personality from the reality television show "Storage Wars," has surfaced nearly three months after his death, detailing his struggles with harassment on Facebook. The document, discovered by detectives in a container at his Arizona residence, reportedly expressed his inability to endure the online abuse any longer.

“

I couldn't take the Facebook harassment anymore, screw you.

According to a police report from Lake Havasu City, Arizona, the note was found within a storage container. Authorities described the handwriting as shaky. Sheets was found deceased on April 22 from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Following the news of his death, fellow "Storage Wars" cast member René Nezhoda stated on social media that Sheets had been a victim of online harassment.

Nezhoda commented that "no one should insult or bully on the internet because we don't know the demons each person carries." He also revealed that despite their on-screen rivalry, he and Sheets had a close relationship off-camera, with their families even knowing each other. Nezhoda emphasized that viewers do not truly know the private lives of those they see on television.

“

No one should insult or bully on the internet because we don't know the demons each person carries, whether it's a girl at school or a celebrity.

Arizona police had previously acknowledged awareness of the cyberbullying allegations as part of their investigation into Sheets' death. The police report also included testimony from Sheets' girlfriend, who was not publicly identified. She recounted that Sheets had a sleepless night and was found in his office before she heard a gunshot. The report further indicated that Sheets had experienced family conflicts and stress in his final days, contributing to his sadness.

“

People think that by seeing us on television, they know us and can judge us, but they have no idea who we are or what we go through off-camera.
