- O.J. Simpson died on April 10, according to a statement from his family.
- He was found not guilty of murdering his ex-wife, Nicole Brown, in a highly publicized 1995 trial.
O.J. Simpson's family confirmed on Thursday that the former football player had died on April 10 after being diagnosed with cancer. He was 76 years old.
While Simpson never directly confirmed his diagnosis, he did allude to it in February, sharing a video to X where he told his followers: "My health is good, obviously I'm dealing with some issues."
Simpson, who was married twice, fathered five children.
Simpson married Marguerite Whitley in 1967 when they were both teenagers, and they had three children together. In 1977, the football player started dating Nicole Brown, and he divorced Whitley in 1979.
He and Brown got married in 1985, and they were together for seven years. They had two children before she filed for divorce in 1992.
In 1995, Simpson was acquitted of the 1994 murder of Brown and her friend, Ronald Goldman.
