Live TV coverage of his arrest after a famous slow-speed chase marked a stunning fall from grace for the sports hero.
LAS VEGAS (AP) — O.J. Simpson, the decorated football superstar and Hollywood actor who was acquitted of charges he killed his former wife and her friend but later found liable in a separate civil trial, has died. He was 76.
Simpson’s attorney confirmed to TMZ he died Wednesday night in Las Vegas. A message posted Thursday on Simpson’s official X account — formerly Twitter — said he died after battling cancer.
“He was surrounded by his children and grandchildren,” the statement said.
