The lawyer representing O.J. Simpson, who recently passed away, announced that Simpson's body will be cremated and there are no intentions to donate his brain for scientific study. This comes after a request was made to study his brain for chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a degenerative brain disease associated with repeated head injuries.
A lawyer who represented O.J. Simpson , who died from cancer last week at 76, said Sunday that the former NFL star’s body will be cremated in the coming days, and there are no plans to have his brain donated to science.
Following Simpson’s death, Goldman’s father, Fred Goldman, expressed no sympathy for the fallen Hall of Fame icon turned Hollywood pitchman, telling NBC News that “it’s no great loss to the world. It’s a further reminder of Ron’s being gone.”Simpson, who long maintained his innocence in the deaths of Brown Simpson and Goldman, died without having paid off most of a $33.5 million wrongful death judgment awarded in 1997 in a lawsuit filed by the victims’ families.
