APPARENT SUICIDE: 'Storage Wars' Star Found Dead After Drug Arrest Feb 12th 2013, 13:06 'Storage Wars' star Mark Balelo was found dead on Monday, two days after being arrested on suspicion of possession of methamphetamine, according to multiple reports. Suicide is suspected as Balelo was found dead in his car in the garage of apparent carbon monoxide poisoning, TMZ reports. They cited sources saying Balelo was distraught after his arrest. The autopsy is scheduled for Tuesday. Balelo, 40, was in several episodes of the popular reality show. Known for wearing flashy clothes and nicknamed "Rico Suave," Balelo is best known for helping return a rare Superman comic book valued at $1 million to its owner, actor Nicolas Cage. Balelo owned Balelo, Inc., which purchased the contents of storage lockers and liquidated their assets. The comic book was found in a storage locker a decade after it was stolen from Cage. 'Storage Wars' has been under scrutiny recently after Dave Hester, a former cast member, filed a lawsuit against the show. In the lawsuit, Hester claimed the series is fake, saying show producers plant valuable items in units to make the show more interesting. The suit also claimed the show rigged the bidding process. A&E said the suit is baseless and asked a judge to toss it.
