The family of former NFL player OJ Simpson announced he passed away from cancer on April 10, 2024. They said Simpson was surrounded by his children and grandchildren when he passed.

Orenthal James Simpson, also known as “Juice” on the field, was an award-winning football player who played 11 seasons in the NFL. However, his athletic success was overshadowed by accusations he killed his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman.

Simpson was acquitted in a criminal trial but found guilty in a civil trial. He later spent time in prison after being charged with armed robbery and kidnapping in Las Vegas.

Born in 1947 and raised in San Francisco, Simpson played college football for the University of Southern California Trojans, winning the Heisman Trophy his senior year. He was a first-round draft pick for the Buffalo Bills, breaking records and being selected as the NFL’s Most Valuable Player. He later played for the San Francisco 49ers and retired after 11 seasons with the NFL.
