Upon their arrival, they discovered a male subject who had suffered from a seemingly self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. The male was pronounced dead on the scene, and the Criminal Investigations Unit of the Lake Havasu City Police Department was promptly notified and took over the investigation," the Lake Havasu Police Department stated in a release.
"The body was eventually turned over to the Mohave County Medical Examiner's office for further examination. The male subject has been identified as Darrell Sheets, a 67-year-old resident of Lake Havasu City. Darrell's family has been notified. This incident remains under active investigation, and additional information will be released as it becomes available," the release continued.
