The audio of a 911 call John Elway made after his agent’s fatal golf cart accident has been released.
Elway and his agent, Jeff Sperbeck, were at the Madison Club in La Quinta, California, April 26 when Sperbeck died of injuries in what local authorities ruled a “tragic accident.”
Elway dialed 911 and told the dispatcher the two were “on a golf cart, and he fell off the golf cart,” according to TMZ Sports.
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.
After Sperbeck’s death, Elway released a statement.
“I am absolutely devastated and heartbroken by the passing of my close friend, business partner and agent Jeff Sperbeck,” Elway said in a statement, via ESPN. “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.”
Sperbeck had been Elway’s agent since 1990. The two collaborated on several business ventures.
