Investigation into golf cart accident that left NFL legend John Elway's agent dead remains open

Deputies in California are continuing to investigate a golf cart accident involving Denver Broncos legend John Elway. All witnesses have been interviewed, and there is currently no evidence to suggest foul play.

According to a report from TMZ, the incident occurred at The Madison Club in La Quinta, California on April 26. John Elway was reportedly driving the golf cart when his longtime agent and friend, Jeffrey Sperbeck, 62, fell out and suffered head injuries.

The two were leaving a Stagecoach after-party, the outlet reported.

A spokesperson for Cal Fire confirmed to Fox News Digital that Sperbeck sustained serious injuries and was taken to a hospital. Initially in critical condition, Sperbeck sadly passed away on April 30.

In a statement released after Sperbeck’s death, Elway said he was “devastated,” according to ESPN.

“I am absolutely devastated and heartbroken by the passing of my close friend, business partner and agent Jeff Sperbeck,” Elway said. “There are no words to truly express the profound sadness I feel with the sudden loss of someone who has meant so much to me.”

Sperbeck’s family also released a statement.

“We are deeply saddened to share the passing of our beloved Jeff Sperbeck. He was a wonderful father, husband, brother, son and friend to many and will be profoundly missed by all,” the Sperbeck family said. “We are grieving this unimaginable loss as a family alongside our dearest friends the Elway’s and the many other clients Jeff called friends.”
