A puzzling deal in Darrell Sheets’ final days has raised new questions after the “Storage Wars” star died by suicide.<\/p>\n

A longtime associate who appeared on the A&E reality TV<\/a> show recalled an uncharacteristic moment that, in hindsight, felt like Sheets “was tying up his affairs.”<\/p>\n

“It wasn\u2019t the buying and selling that was odd. It was really the interaction,” “Storage Wars” star Dusty Riach told Us Weekly<\/a>. “Because Darrell is not the type of person to just roll over on an offer. He was a fighter for the last dollar in any deal. And he was asking a pretty substantial amount of money for a deal that one of my friends was buying from him. And then my friend kind of shot him quite a large deficit off of what he was asking. And Darrell just was like, \u2018Yeah, that\u2019s great.\u2019”<\/p>\n

“My friend was just like, \u2018That\u2019s kind of weird,\u2019 but didn\u2019t think anything of it at the time. For Darrell not to come back at you, it\u2019s just kind of weird. I had no idea, and my friend hadn\u2019t told me until after we found out what happened [to Sheets]. My friend said that it felt like he was tying up his affairs,” Riach said, adding that Sheets even called him to ensure the check would clear.<\/p>\n

Riach said the gap between Sheets\u2019 asking price and what he ultimately accepted only deepened the sense that something was off.<\/p>\n

“I think Darrell was asking $125,000 and my friend gave him $50,000 [for an estate collection],” he added. “For him to ask that much and then my friend to offer him that \u2014 [without Darrell saying] give me $60,000, or like, pushing for an extra five grand \u2026 Darrell said yep, that\u2019s fine.<\/p>\n

“Even the last watch deal I did with Darrell, we were bickering over like, $50 with each other. So I would say this was 110 percent fully out of character for him.”<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital confirmed Sheets died by suicide at 67<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lake Havasu City police responded to a call regarding a deceased individual on April 22, according to a press release provided to Fox News Digital. Upon arrival, officers found a male with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.<\/p>\n

Sheets was pronounced dead at the scene, and his death is still under active investigation.<\/p>\n

Shortly after the news of Sheets’ death, his “Storage Wars” co-star, Rene Nezhoda, uploaded a video to Instagram, claiming his friend was being cyberbullied online. “Darrell has been posting a lot about the guy that\u2019s been cyberbullying him and tormenting him, and I really hope [law enforcement] look into that guy, and it\u2019s just not a pass,” Nezhoda said in the video.<\/p>\n

Sergeant Kyle Ridgway, public information officer for the Lake Havasu City Police Department<\/a>, told Fox News Digital, “We are aware of these cyberbullying accusations, and that is a part of the active investigation.”<\/p>\n

Sheets was “terrified for his life” in the years before his death as he dealt with alleged cyberbullying, according to “Storage Wars” star Laura Dotson.<\/p>\n

“His family told us that this has been happening for three years,” Dotson, who appears on the show with her husband, Dan Dotson, told Us Weekly. “[It happens to] even strong men that you think aren\u2019t gonna get their feelings hurt. Cyberbullying is a real thing. This made him feel less than, and it really obviously bothered him.<\/p>\n

“He was terrified for his life [and] for the people around him. He didn\u2019t know why he was being targeted.”<\/p>\n

Sheets’ health and other issues could have contributed to his death, Dotson claimed.<\/p>\n

“He had other things also,” she said. “His health and certain things that might have contributed to [his death]. Relationships, love interests and stuff that would go up and down, but [he] truly, truly was a wonderful, loving person who believed in God.”<\/p>\n

Sheets became famous as a main buyer on “Storage Wars,”<\/a> a reality show that follows bidders competing to buy abandoned storage units. He appeared in more than 160 episodes, starting in 2010.<\/p>\n

He earned the nickname “The Gambler” during his time on the show due to his high-risk bids on storage units.<\/p>\n
