Darrell Sheets' official manner of death was released Tuesday, Fox News Digital confirmed.

No further information surrounding his death was made available at the time.

Lake Havasu City police responded to a call regarding a deceased individual on April 22, officials confirmed last week.

Upon arrival, officers found a male with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. The Lake Havasu City Police Department's Criminal Investigations Unit was then notified and responded to the scene to assume the investigation. 

"This incident remains under active investigation, and additional information will be released as it becomes available," authorities said.

Sheets earned the nickname "The Gambler" during his time on the show due to his high-risk bids on storage units and appeared on the show working with his son, Brandon Sheets.

Brandon, who used the nickname "Sidebet" on the show, wrote that his heart was "so broken" in an emotional tribute shared online.

"I love you Dad and I will do my best to live in your honor and respect our Family," Brandon said. "Let's all continue to build those memories and keep the legacy that is 'Darrell (The Gambler) Sheets.'"

He added, "I cant answer everyone's questions or concerns right now, I think we all just need time to process and remember all the good that my Father was and will continue to be through my Son and I.

"The love we all have for this man and all his kindness is only a small portion of who he truly is."
