Darrell Sheets went through a very tough time before his death, according to his close costar Laura Dotson.
The Storage Wars star died on April 22 at the age of 67 in an apparent suicide in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, police confirmed.
Dotson said he had been dealing with cyberbullying for years, and it really got worse in the weeks before he died.
She said his family told her the online harassment had been going on for about three years.
The TV personality went on to explain that the bullying affected him deeply, leaving him feeling low and stressed, and she said that even strong people can be hurt by things like this.
She also said he felt scared not only for himself but also for people close to him because he didn’t understand why he was being targeted.
In March, Sheets spoke out online about someone spreading false claims about him.
He said his accounts were hacked and people were spreading lies and also said some people even came to his workplace and made threats.
Police confirmed he was found dead after being called to a home in Lake Havasu City early this morning.
The late star’s death is being treated as an apparent suicide and remains under investigation.
After his passing, Dotson remembered him as a kind, loving man who cared deeply about his family and faith.
