Darrell Sheets‘ desperate 911 call before his death has been released.
As you know, the Storage Wars star sadly died by suicide earlier this year. It’s been said by his friends that he was dealing with cyberbullying, and although the police have said no one will be charged, it’s clear based on his past social media posts he was really struggling.
In a new audio released by the Lake Havasu Police Department, obtained by Us Weekly on Thursday, the reality TV star can be heard pleading with police to help him. He said in the call:
“I’m kind of, like, a celebrity on TV and for the last two months, I’ve had somebody threatening me and doing all this stuff. Tonight, they just sent me a demand ransom text stating that I had 24 hours to take care of it or they’re going to burn my shop down and they’re going to get my girlfriend in Orange County.”
Scary!

There’s no date on when the call happened, but he did say the name of the alleged cyberbully in the audio. He also claimed to know where the person lived. During the call, Darrell heartbreakingly added:
“I tried to bear this for the last few months. But it’s really bad right now.”
The operator told Darrell that an officer would follow up with a call for more details.
Just so devastating, especially knowing what we know now. We’re so sorry he was dealing with this.
Rest in peace, Darrell.
