O.J. Simpson passed away last year
Before his passing in April 2024, Simpson uploaded a video on X in May 2023, announcing that he was diagnosed with cancer. In his last X video, posted on February 11, 2024, he assured his followers that he was fine, saying:
"My health is good. I mean, obviously, I'm dealing with some issues. I think I'm just about over it, and I'll be back on that golf course hopefully in a couple of weeks."
In April 2024, his family announced via his X account that Simpson had passed away. Malcolm LaVergne gave his statement to People, telling the media outlet that he and Simpson believed he was healed. However, the cancer came back. LaVergne said:
"I was pretty certain it was prostate cancer; ultimately, that was the cause. He thought it had beaten it. I thought this was done, but you know how cancers go. They come back, and they come back with a vengeance."
Tanya Brown, the sister of Simpson's ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson, told the media outlet that his death marked the end of a chapter.
"This is a person who's been in our life for a very long time, who wreaked havoc on our family. It's like the end of a chapter," she said.
For the unversed, O.J. Simpson was accused of allegedly murdering his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ronald Goldman. According to Fox, in 2008, he was sentenced to nine years of imprisonment for armed robbery and kidnapping. He was released on October 1, 2017.
