Rene Nezhoda says people online mercilessly cyberbullied Darrell Sheets before his death … and, he hopes this will serve as a wakeup call to all the online menaces out there.
Nezhoda spoke about Sheets — who cops found dead in his home early Wednesday morning — in a video … admitting the two had their run-ins because they both competed intensely against each other.
Nezhoda says, deep down, he and Sheets were friends … and he’s sad his pal’s gone now. He also says he hopes cops will look into cyberbullying claims Sheets made about others as they investigate his death.
People need to hold each other accountable when it comes to cyberbullying, Nezhoda adds … whether they’re bullying reality TV stars, athletes, or any other public figures.
We broke the story … cops responded to Sheets’ Arizona home after receiving a call about a dead body. Lake Havasu Police in Arizona tell TMZ he apparently died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
Sheets was 67.
RIP
