Jeff Sperbeck's Cause of Death Revealed After John Elway Accident
Late last month John Elway's longtime frined and agent Jeff Sperbeck, died from injuries sustained when he fell off a golf cart driven by the Hall of Fame quarterback.
Sperbeck was 62 years old. He was declared dead just three days after he reportedly fell from a golf car driven by Elway and hit his head on the asphalt.
Elway released an emotional statement hours after his friend's passing.
'I am absolutely devastated and heartbroken by the passing of my close friend, business partner and agent Jeff Sperbeck. 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," Elway said in a statement at the time.
"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.'
According to a statement from the Riverside Sheriff's Coroner Bureau, via NBC News, Sperbeck's death was caused by 'blunt head trauma" and his death was ultimately ruled an "accident."
The "mode of death" for the 62-year-old Sperbeck was described as: 'Passenger fell from golf cart.' While the investigation remains ongoing, Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco said "so far it appears to be just a tragic accident.'
Sperbeck and Elway went into business together following the latter's NFL career, starting 7Cellars winery together in 2013.

National Guard troops have temporarily detained civilians in LA protests, commander says
WASHINGTON (AP) — National Guard troops already have temporarily detained civilians in the Los Angeles protests over immigration raids, the commander in charge said Wednesday, but they quickly turned them over to law enforcement. Maj. Gen. Scott Sherman also said about 500 of the National Guard troops have been trained so far to accompany agents on immigration operations. Photos of Guard soldiers providing security for the agents have already been circulated by immigration officials. Sherman is commander of Task Force 51, which is overseeing the more than 4,000 Guard troops and 700 Marines who have been deployed to Los Angeles to provide security during the protests.

Defense rests case in second trial of Karen Read for Boston police officer boyfriend's death
The defense in Karen Read's second murder trial rested its case on Wednesday, arguing she was framed for the killing of her Boston police officer boyfriend. Read, 45, faces murder and other charges for the death of John O'Keefe, who was found dead in the snow in January 2022 after a night of drinking. Prosecutors have said Read intentionally struck O'Keefe with her sport utility vehicle and left him to die. Read's defense has suggested she was the victim of a wide-ranging conspiracy that included planting evidence and using her as a convenient scapegoat for her boyfriend's death. They also unsuccessfully sought a mistrial earlier in the trial. Read's first trial ended in a hung jury.
