John Elway won't face charges in golf cart accident that killed business partner
Football legend John Elway will not be facing any charges in the death of his business partner Jeffrey Sperbeck, Riverside County Sheriff's Department announced on Monday. Sperbeck was fatally injured after falling out of his golf cart at The Madison Club in La Quinta back in April. The 62-year-old San Clemente resident was Elway's business partner and former agent. In a statement to CBS News Los Angeles, the Riverside County Sheriff's said it "determined that the incident was a tragic accident with no evidence of criminal activity or intent." The statement went on to say no criminal charges would be filed at this time and that the death would be classified as an accidental death. In a written statement following Sperbeck's death, Elway expressed his grief after his close friend's death. "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 wrote. "Jeff will be deeply missed for the loyalty, wisdom, friendship and love he brought into my life and the lives of so many others." Elway is a Super Bowl-winning quarterback who played for the Denver Broncos in the 1980s and 90s and is a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He returned to the Broncos as general manager many years after his retirement and constructed the roster of the team that won Super Bowl 50.

(AP Photo/Jack Dempsey) LA QUINTA, Calif. — NFL Hall of Famer John Elway won't be charged after his business partner Jeffrey Sperbeck was fatally injured falling out of his golf cart at a Southern California golf resort community last April, authorities said. Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco told KUSA-TV in Denver on Friday that investigators found nothing criminal and ruled it a tragic accident. Sperbeck, Elway's partner and former agent, died after suffering an injury when he tumbled out of a golf cart driven by the former quarterback on April 26 at The Madison Club in La Quinta, east of Los Angeles. Sperbeck was 62. Sperbeck's cause of death was 'blunt force trauma' and the manner of death was an accident that occurred when the 'passenger fell from the golf cart,' the county coroner's report said. 'I've looked at video 100 times and there's no explanation as to why he fell off, he just fell off,'' Bianco said. Elway didn't immediately comment on the findings. He said in an April statement that he was devastated by the death of his close friend. '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 at the time. Elway's April statement did not address his presence at the scene. Sperbeck began managing Elway in 1990, when Elway was quarterback for the Denver Broncos. He represented more than 100 NFL players during a three-decade career as an agent and business adviser. He was best known as Elway's partner who helped manage the Hall of Famer's extensive off-field business empire, which included restaurants, car dealerships and a winery. The Associated Press
