Simpson played in the NFL for 11 seasons, primarily with the Buffalo Bills
Former NFL running back O.J. Simpson has passed away, according to his family. He was 76.
“On April 10th, our father, Orenthal James Simpson, succumbed to his battle with cancer,” they wrote on X.
He died surrounded by his children and grandchildren, they said.
Simpson was embroiled in a murder trial after his arrest in June 1994. He was 46 years old at the time.
His “trial of the century” ended on October 3, 1995, when he was acquitted in the 1994 murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman.
The acquittal came nine months after the trial began — and about 16 months after Simpson’s ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ron Goldman, were found brutally murdered outside her home in Los Angeles.
