John Elway will not be charged in relation to the death of his longtime agent, Jeff Sperbeck, who passed away in April after falling from a golf cart driven by the former Broncos quarterback.

The Riverside County (Calif.) Sheriff’s Office will announce that their investigation has concluded with no evidence of criminal activity, determining that Sperbeck’s death was accidental.

“It’s over,’’ Riverside Sheriff Chad Bianco told 9NEWS on Friday. “We’ve spoken to everyone involved and found no new evidence. There was nothing criminal; it was a tragic accident, as we’ve stated all along.”

Sperbeck, 62, died on April 30, four days after he fell off of the back of a golf cart at The Madison Club in La Quinta, Calif.

Sperbeck was transported to Desert Regional Medical Center in Palm Springs and placed on life support.

The Riverside Sheriff’s Coroner ruled in May that Sperbeck’s death was the result of “blunt head trauma,” and that the manner of death was “accident.”

“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, 65, said in a statement after Sperbeck’s death. “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 became Elway’s agent in the 1990s and the two later became business partners, starting a winery called 7Cellars.

Elway, a Hall of Famer and two-time Super Bowl champion as a player, later won another ring with the Broncos as their general manager.
