O.J. Simpson DEAD at Age 76 After Murdering His Ex Wife!

The passing of O.J. Simpson at the age of 76 has been confirmed, marking the end of a tumultuous life following his controversial involvement in the murder of his ex-wife.

O.J. Simpson, the controversial figure who gained notoriety during his murder trial in the 1990s, has passed away following a battle with cancer.

The former NFL star died on Wednesday in Las Vegas, as confirmed by his family. His family confirmed the news on Thursday, 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.”

In February, Simpson denied being in hospice care for prostate cancer but refrained from addressing his specific diagnosis. However, in 2023, he did acknowledge having “caught cancer,” although he did not specify the type. At that time, he mentioned undergoing chemotherapy.

Last year, O.J. Simpson expressed being “terrified” about his health, fearing he may not have much time left to live following a life-saving surgery.

According to sources close to him, Simpson shared with a friend that his “heart is giving out” after facing severe health complications. Doctors had to insert a stent into his vital organ to ensure his arteries remain clear and his blood flows more effectively.

“The doctors want him to rest at home because there isn’t much they can do for him,” Simpson’s pal Norm Pardo told Radar. “O.J.’s got it in his head that he’s going to die from a massive heart attack.”

“It’s driving him crazy and adding even more stress to his troubled life,” Pardo added. “He believes he is dying in plain sight and the end is near.”

This isn’t Simpson’s first encounter with health issues. The former football star has previously expressed concerns about the possibility of having chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a degenerative brain disease associated with experiencing repeated concussions, back in 2018.

“I get concerned,” Simpson, who played professional football for 11 seasons, told a Las Vegas news outlet at the time. “I do recognize that it probably affects you in short-term memory more than long-term.”

“I know with me, I have days I can’t find words,” he noted. “I literally cannot find words or the name of somebody I know. That gets a little scary. Those days happen when I’m tired.”

“I feel all right,” he clarified “But I have days when I can’t … I lose words, and I can’t come up with a simple word. I can’t remember a phone number, so forget that.”

Though Simpson was acquitted of the deaths of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman in his criminal trial, three years later, he was found liable in a civil suit brought by the victims’ families.

Born Orenthal James Simpson in San Francisco, he achieved fame as a football player, winning the Heisman Trophy while at USC and setting records during his professional career with the San Francisco 49ers and the Buffalo Bills.

Simpson began his acting career while still at USC, making appearances on “Medical Center” before transitioning to the NFL. Alongside his football career, he appeared in several films such as “The Klansman,” “The Cassandra Crossing,” and “The Towering Inferno,” as well as the miniseries “Roots.”

After retiring from football, Simpson continued his acting endeavors, starring in three “Naked Gun” movies and the comedy “Back to the Beach.” He had also completed a two-hour long pilot for the adventure series “Frogmen” before his arrest abruptly halted the project for NBC.

On June 12, 1994, the ex-wife of O.J. Simpson, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman were discovered murdered outside her Brentwood condo. Simpson, who had previously pleaded no contest to a domestic violence charge involving Nicole Brown Simpson during their marriage, was considered a person of interest in the killings, and charges were subsequently filed against him. Instead of surrendering to authorities, a media frenzy ensued when Simpson attempted to flee in his white Ford Bronco, leading to a slow-speed chase with the police. The televised pursuit on June 17 captivated an audience of approximately 95 million viewers.

The subsequent trial turned into a media spectacle, and Simpson was ultimately acquitted of the two murders. However, in 1997, Goldman’s family pursued a civil suit against Simpson, resulting in him being found liable for wrongful death and battery against Goldman, as well as battery against Nicole Brown Simpson. He was ordered to pay $33.5 million in damages.
