Storage Wars star Darrell Sheets has died.

The reality TV star - who appeared on 163 episodes of the A+E series between 2010 and 2023 - passed away in Lake Gavasu City, Arizona, on Wednesday (22.04.26) at the age of 67 after apparently taking his own life.

The Lake Havasu Police Department said: "On April 22, 2026, at approximately 0200 hours, officers with the Lake Havasu City Police Department 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 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. This incident remains under active investigation, and additional information will be released as it becomes available."

Network A+E have paid tribute to Darrell, who was nicknamed The Gambler and appeared on Storage Wars alongside his son Brandon.

A spokesperson said: "We are saddened by the passing of a beloved member of our Storage Wars family, Darrell "The Gambler" Sheets. Our thoughts are with his family and loved ones during this difficult time."

Darrell had previously revealed he had suffered a heart attack in 2019 and needed to undergo surgery.

He wrote on Instagram at the time: "Well here we go I wasn't going to say anything, but you all have been the greatest friends and fans. I've been very sick for 3 months and two nights ago I had a mild heart attack, found out I have congestive heart failure and a severe issue going on with my lung.

"All your prayers would be deeply appreciated thank you for being there for me it's been a great ride #storagewars # Romney [Snyder, then-fiancee] has been by my side through all of this she is a good women and I love her.(sic)"

Darrell retired from Storage Wars in 2023 and moved to Arizona, where he opened an antiques store called Havasu Show Me Your Junk.

His notable successes on Storage Wars included him acquiring four Picassos and the most lucrative comic book collection in the world.
