The deadly fall of the long -standing agent of agent Jeff Sperbeck of golf carts led by John Elway judged an accident – San Diego Union -Tribune

A California Coroner office officially ruled that Jeff Sperbeck’s death, the sports agent who died after falling from a golf cart managed by a friend and long -standing trading partner, John Elway, was an accident.

Friday, the Sheriff department of the County of Riverside – which launched an investigation into the death of Sperbeck after a media frenzy around the participation of Elway – published a declaration of the Coroner Bureau of the County of Riverside which excluded any criminal activity.

“The cause of death is” a blunt head trauma “and the manner of death is” accident “, and the mode of death … is” passing from the golf cart “,” said the coroner office in the press release.

The medical staff responded for the first time to a call made by the Elway party on Saturday April 26, after Sperbeck fell from the cart at the California Country Club the Madison Club. He was transported to the Desert Regional Medical Center in Palm Springs, where he was put into force before being declared dead in early April 30.

The Sheriff department did not start an investigation before having received a large wave of media information requests, such as the Sheriff of the Riverside County, Chad Bianco, previously said to the Denver Post, and because of the “implications” that Elway has wrongly acted in the incident. In the days following the death of Sperbeck, Bianco argued that nothing of the medical staff had seen the day of their initial response did not deserve an investigation by the Sheriff department.

“This, with all appearances and all the evidence, seems to be a horrible accident,” Bianco told post last week.

The Coroner officially ruled as such on Friday, and the investigation is coming to an end.

Bianco told the post in an SMS on Friday that the ministry had concluded all the interviews and awaits some pending videos to complete the declarations of the witnesses, but that he provided that these videos “would simply corroborate the rest of what we have learned”.

Sperbeck, the Elway agent during the quarry of the quarter of the renowned temple with the broncos of Denver, was 62 years old. He is survived by his wife, Cori, and three children, Carly, Sam and Jackson.
