The late O.J. Simpson, who recently passed away due to prostate cancer, will be cremated following his wishes, as reported by the New York Post. Despite calls for his brain to be donated for research on chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), Simpson's attorney and executor, Malcolm LaVergne, confirmed that the family has declined the request.
CTE, a degenerative brain disease linked to repeated head injuries, has been a topic of debate in relation to former NFL players. Recent data from the Boston University CTE Center revealed that a significant percentage of former NFL players studied were diagnosed with CTE posthumously.
