O.J. Simpson was a famous college football and NFL running back who also had a successful Hollywood career. He later became embroiled in the “trial of the century” for the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman in 1994. Despite being acquitted of the charges, he faced severe public backlash and became a national outcast. Simpson passed away at the age of 76 due to cancer, as confirmed by his family.

The post from Simpson’s family on X date announced his death, stating, “On April 10th, our father, Orenthal James Simpson, succumbed to his battle with cancer. He was surrounded by his children and grandchildren.”

“During this time of transition, his family asks that you please respect their wishes for privacy and grace,” the post continued.

Simpson will always be remembered for the infamous Ford Bronco chase in June 1994, which occurred five days after the tragic deaths of Brown Simpson and Goldman. The chase, involving Simpson and the police, captivated the nation and added to the sensational nature of the case.

“The Juice” was loose, but once he was arrested he assembled a legal “Dream Team” that numbered Johnnie Cochran (of “”If it doesn’t fit, you must acquit” fame), Robert Kardashian, Alan Dershowitz, F. Lee Bailey, and Robert Shapiro among his defense attorneys.

The ensuing trial and acquittal remains one of the most controversial cases in American history. But rather than shrinking away from the limelight, Simpson embraced it. Remember “If I Did It”?

Nor did Simpson avoid further run-ins with the law. He served nine years in prison for a sports memorabilia-related armed robbery in Las Vegas after being convicted in 2008. He was paroled in 2017.

After he was out, Simpson claimed to be “believe in the legal system.”

In more recent years, Simpson saw fit to comment on high-profile murder cases and to lodge murder allegations against others.

This is a developing story.
