Jeff Sperbeck, the longtime friend, business partner and former agent of John Elway, died Wednesday from injuries suffered when he fell off a golf cart reportedly being driven by the Hall of Fame quarterback. Sperbeck was 62.
The Riverside County coroner confirmed Sperbeck's death in a news release from the sheriff's office. Sperbeck was injured Saturday night in La Quinta, California, and declared dead early Wednesday at a Palm Springs hospital.
According to TMZ, Elway was driving the golf cart when Sperbeck fell off and hit his head on asphalt. Sperbeck had been sitting in the passenger seat, a source told ESPN, with TMZ reporting he had been on life support following the fall.
