O.J. Simpson, the legendary college football and NFL running back who enjoyed a lucrative Hollywood career in his post-playing days before facing the “trial of the century” for the 1994 murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman, only to be acquitted and become a national pariah, died of cancer at 76 on Wednesday, according to his family.
“On April 10th, our father, Orenthal James Simpson, succumbed to his battle with cancer,” the X post attributed to Simpson’s family said Thursday. “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.
