John Elway has seen his life turn upside down in the last few months. An accident on the golf course tragically led to the passing of one of his closest friends and business partners. Now, the NFL hall of famer has learned his fate regarding the tragic accident.
John Elway Sees Police Confirm His Fate In Tragic Death Of Close Friend
Several months ago, NFL legend John Elway’s longtime friend and former agent Jeff Sperbeck died in a tragic accident. There was a police investigation into the accident, and now we know the final outcome:
Sperbeck was killed when he fell off a golf cart being driven by Elway. Police have been investigating the crash and Elway’s potential role in Sperbeck’s tragic death. Foul play was soon ruled out and police could find no evidence that Elway was inhibited while driving.
According to Denver sports insider Mike Klis, Riverside Sheriff Chad Bianco has stated that the investigation is effectively over and no criminal charges are looming. The department will reportedly be making that an official statement soon.
“It’s over,’’ Bianco said. “We’ve talked to everyone involved and we found nothing new. There was nothing criminal, it was what we’ve been saying all along that this was a tragic accident.”
Per the report, the investigation also included a look at video evidence of Sperbeck falling from the cart. Bianco said he’s seen the video numerous times and simply can’t explain why Sperbeck fell.
“I’ve looked at (the) video 100 times and there’s no explanation as to why he fell off. He just fell off,’’ Bianco said.
The news hasn’t been welcome by football fans who have been seemingly eager to see evidence that Elway did something that will result in prison time. Many have accused Elway of being drunk while he was driving Sperbeck around.
“Drunk behind the wheel of a golf cart,” one user on X insisted.
“Money never suffers consequences. Never liked horse face. RIP Jeff,” wrote another.
“Because he’s rich & famous. Odds are everyone on the golf cart was hammered. Sober people don’t die on cart paths,” a third declared.
“Whatever. He was drunk driving it.”
“He killed the guy!”
Ultimately, it looks as though the accident was simply that: An accident. It can be hard to accept that in this current social climate (and especially amid some recent news stories), but the fact of the matter is that accidents happen, even tragic ones.
