O.J. Simpson, Former Football Star and Actor, Dies at 76
Death Comes After Battle with Cancer
Family Announces Passing in Statement
O.J. Simpson, the legendary football star and actor whose life took a shocking turn when he was accused of murdering his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman, has died. He was 76.
Simpson's family released a statement announcing his passing on Wednesday. The cause of death was cancer.
Simpson's death comes after a decades-long battle with the legal system and public scrutiny following his acquittal in the double-murder trial in 1995. The sensational trial gripped the nation and divided public opinion, with many believing Simpson was guilty despite the jury's verdict.
After his release from prison in 2017, Simpson lived a relatively quiet life in Las Vegas. He was spotted making occasional public appearances and was reportedly in good spirits before his health declined.
Simpson's death marks the end of a tumultuous life that was both celebrated and condemned. He will be remembered both for his athletic achievements and for the controversial case that forever altered his legacy.
