A California coroner’s office has officially ruled that the death of Jeff Sperbeck, the sports agent who died after falling from a golf cart driven by longtime friend and business partner John Elway, was an accident.
On Friday, the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department — which launched an investigation into Sperbeck’s death after a media frenzy around Elway’s involvement — released a statement from the Riverside County Coroner’s Bureau that ruled out any criminal activity.
“The Cause of Death is ‘Blunt Head Trauma,’ and the Manner of Death is ‘Accident,’ and the Mode of Death … is ‘Passenger fell from golf cart,'” the Coroner’s Bureau said in the statement.
