O.J. Simpson, the former American football star and Hollywood actor, has passed away at the age of 76. His family announced that he “succumbed to his battle with cancer” on Wednesday while surrounded by his children and grandchildren.
Simpson’s trial in October 1995, famously dubbed the “trial of the century”, captivated the world’s attention as he faced charges for the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman.
Despite being found not guilty in the criminal trial, he was later held responsible in a civil lawsuit.
Following his illustrious football career with the Buffalo Bills, where he achieved numerous accolades including induction into the NFL Hall of Fame, Simpson ventured into acting and became a prominent figure in television and film.
However, his life took a tumultuous turn when he was arrested in 2007 for armed robbery and kidnapping in connection with a dispute over sports memorabilia in a Las Vegas hotel.
He was sentenced to 33 years in prison in 2008, eventually being released on parole in 2017 after serving nine years.
Throughout his life, Simpson’s legacy remains a complex and controversial subject, with his legal battles and personal life often making headlines and dividing public opinion.
