Overview
- Darrell Sheets was found dead at his Lake Havasu City home on April 22, 2026, and the Mohave County medical examiner ruled his death a suicide from a self‑inflicted gunshot.
- Investigators recovered a handwritten note near Sheets’ body that read in part, “I could not take anymore the Facebook bullying,” and the handwriting was described as shaky.
- Police treated Sheets’ public complaints about hacking and online harassment as part of the probe, contacted the person Sheets named, and reported that the person was uncooperative and denied recent presence in Arizona.
- The department released the 911 call and bodycam footage this week and included phone records and interviews that document Sheets’ severe insomnia, stress and recent heated arguments with his son.
- The case is closed with investigators saying there is no evidence of third‑party involvement, and Sheets’ family has held memorials while his son has said he will reopen the family store to preserve his legacy.
