during the incident. “This appears to be a horrific accident,” Bianco told the Post, noting that “a couple” of the people involved in the incident “happen to be very high-profile celebrities.”

“And that makes this more of an issue than it probably should be,” Bianco said at the time, noting his department received a “massive media inquiry” after the news broke. “We’re doing everything we can to make sure that this is what it appears to be, and just an accident,” he added.

Equipment inspections were conducted on the golf cart, Bianco said on May 2, to rule out any possibility of a malfunction leading to Sperbeck’s fall. He also said that it is “common practice for medical personnel” to call the sheriff “because something doesn’t look right.” But in this incident, Bianco said, “This was not the case.”

Jeff will be deeply missed for the loyalty, wisdom, friendship and love he brought into my life and the lives of so many others,” the former quarterback concluded.
