Simpson was 76 years old
O.J. Simpson, the former football great who was accused of and ultimately acquitted of the brutal 1994 slayings of his ex-wife and her friend, has died, according to his family. He was 76.
During this time of transition, his family asks that you please respect their wishes for privacy and grace.— O.J. Simpson April 11, 2024 In May 2023, Simpson posted a video on X, then known as Twitter, revealing that he had recently"caught cancer" and"had to do the whole chemo thing." He added,"It looks like I beat it." Simpson didn't specify the nature of the cancer.
Orenthal James Simpson, nicknamed"The Juice," broke records as a college and professional football player, and extended his celebrity and fortune as a sportscaster, a movie and television actor, and as a corporate spokesman, most notably for Hertz rental cars. All that changed on June 12, 1994, when Simpson's ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman, were brutally stabbed to death outside of the former's home in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Brentwood.
Simpson ultimately surrendered to police and stood trial for the murders. In October 1995, after 11 months from jury selection to verdict, Simpson was acquitted in a trial that was televised daily and became an international sensation.
