Death of John Elway agent Jeff Sperbeck caused by 'blunt head trauma' and ruled an accident

The agent for Hall of Fame quarterback John Elway was killed in an "accident," Southern California investigators said Friday, nearly two weeks after a tragic golf cart fall.

The agent for Hall of Fame quarterback John Elway was killed in an "accident," Southern California investigators said Friday, nearly two weeks after a tragic golf cart fall.

Jeffrey Sperbeck’s death was caused by “blunt head trauma," according to a statement from the Riverside Sheriff’s Coroner Bureau statement, which also labeled the fatality an "accident."

The "mode of death" for the 62-year-old Sperbeck was described as: “Passenger fell from golf cart.”

The sheriff's department on Friday did not elaborate on any potential criminal responsibility, only saying “the investigation remains ongoing.”

So it wasn't clear prosecution would be recommended for the April 26 crash at the Madison Club, a private golf resort community in La Quinta near Palm Springs where Elway owns a home.
