Tragic Death of Millwall Football Club Majority Owner John Berylson in Car Crash

John Berylson, the majority owner of London’s Millwall Football Club, was tragically killed in a car crash on Tuesday in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, according to the Falmouth Police Department.

Berylson, 70, was driving alone in his 2019 Range Rover when he lost control of the vehicle while going around a curve on Sippewissett Road. The car rolled over into a ravine, and rescue teams used “mechanical means” to extract him from the car. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Berylson was the CEO of private equity firm Chestnut Hill Ventures LLC and owned a majority stake in the London-based soccer club. He was described by the club as a “truly great man, incredibly devoted to his family, and a person of such remarkable generosity,” and was remembered for his “passion and commitment” to the team.

The Falmouth Police Department is continuing to investigate the crash, and has asked anyone with information to contact them.

John Berylson’s death has been met with shock and sadness from the Millwall Football Club and its supporters. The club has asked for privacy for Berylson’s family during this difficult time.
