John Elway is going through a tumultuous off-season, to say the least. Jeff Sperbeck, the longtime agent of NFL legend John Elway, was tragically killed in an accident several days ago. The cause of death was officially announced this week.
Additionally, a decision on criminal charges has been announced.

TMZ reported Friday that Sperbeck’s death had been ruled as “blunt head trauma.” According to the report, the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office had also determined the death had been an accident (contrary to rumors):
The toxicology report has not yet been released. After that comes out, the final report in the case is likely to be filed. No criminal charges against anyone, let alone Elway, are expected to be forthcoming.
Sperbeck was seriously injured on April 26 after he reportedly fell off a cart that Elway was driving at a golf community in La Quinta, California. Elway was unharmed in the accident.
Sperbeck was treated in the hospital for several days but succumbed to his injuries on April 30. He was 62 years old.
Following the death of his friend, Elway released a statement on how “absolutely devastated” he was by the entire situation.

“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. My heart and deepest sympathies go out to Jeff’s wife, Cori; his children Carly, Sam and Jackson; and everyone who knew and loved him.
“Jeff will be deeply missed for the loyalty, wisdom, friendship and love he brought into my life and the lives of so many others.”
