Darrell Sheets was going through a very difficult time before his death, according to his close co-star 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 she was dealing with cyberbullying for years and it got much worse in the weeks before her death.
She shared that her family told her that the online harassment had been going on for about three years.
The TV personality went on to explain that the bullying affected him deeply and made him feel depressed and stressed and said that even strong people can get hurt by things like this.
He also said that he felt afraid, not only for himself but also for the people close to him, because he did not understand why he was being attacked.
In March, Sheets spoke out online about someone who spread false claims about him.
He said that his accounts were hacked and that people were spreading lies, and he also said that some people even came to his workplace and threatened him.
Police confirmed he was found dead after being called to a home in Lake Havasu City early in the morning.
The late star’s death is being treated as an apparent suicide and is still under investigation.
After his passing, Dotson remembered him as a kind and loving man who cared deeply about his family and his faith.
