At 22, Spencer Webb was still at the very beginning of his career. The college football player was considered a talent. Now his life was taken by a tragic accident.
According to local authorities, Webb died in a cliff diving accident at Triangle Lake near Eugene (USA) on Wednesday. He slipped on a rock formation and fell about 90 meters. He suffered such severe head injuries that attempts by first responders and paramedics to revive him were unsuccessful.
The grief for Webb is great. He played for the Oregon Ducks for four years, where he held the position of tight end. His club wrote on Twitter: “We are deeply saddened by the death of Spencer Webb. Our condolences to his family, teammates and friends at this difficult time. We will miss Spencer very much.”
“You were my everything”
But not only his teammates, the team and the fans are shocked. Webb’s girlfriend Kelly Kay (30) can’t believe his death either. Particularly tragic: The Instagram model, who made headlines in 2020 as a streaker at the Super Bowl, and the footballer had only made their relationship public the day before Webb’s accident.
Kay says goodbye to him with emotional words. «My best friend, my twin flame, the love of my life. I’ve never loved anything as much as I love you. You were my everything, you gave me purpose, you showed me what it’s like to be valued and valued and seen for me,” she wrote on Instagram. “I don’t know how to proceed, but I know that you will watch over me and keep me strong.” (bir)
