OJ Simpson, the former football player who was charged and eventually acquitted of the brutal 1994 murders of his ex-wife and her friend, has died, according to his family.

OJ Simpson passed away at the age of 76.

His family's statement reads:

"On April 10, our father, Orenthal James Simpson, lost his battle with cancer. He was surrounded by his children and grandchildren. During this time, the family asks that you respect their wishes for privacy."

In May 2023, Simpson posted a video on X, then known as Twitter, revealing that he had recently been "overcome by cancer" and "had to do all the chemotherapy". Then he added that "It seems as if I have defeated him". Simpson did not specify the nature of the cancer.

Then, in February 2024, a Las Vegas television station reported that Simpson, then 76, was again undergoing treatment for an unspecified cancer.

Simpson himself posted a video on X that day, denying rumors that he was in healthcare, though he did not deny reports that he was ill.

Two days later, in another video update on X, Simpson thanked the people he said had reached out to him, adding "My health is good. I mean, obviously I'm dealing with some issues, but I think I'm about to pass it.”/ CNA
