O.J. Simpson has died after a “battle with cancer,” his family announced on Thursday (April 11). He was 76.
Simpson, nicknamed “The Juice,” was accused and ultimately acquitted of the 1994 murders of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman.
“On April 10th, our father, Orenthal James Simpson, succumbed to his battle with cancer. 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,” a statement from his family said.
