Following a battle with cancer, O.J. Simpson, who rose to fame in the US following his murder trial in the 1990s, passed away.
The former NFL star died Wednesday in Las Vegas, his family confirmed.
“On April 10th, our father, Orenthal James Simpson, succumbed to his battle with cancer,” the family wrote on X on 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 brief statement added.
