On Thursday morning, the verified Simpson Family account on X announced the passing of Orenthal James Simpson at the age of 76. The former NFL star was diagnosed with prostate cancer, the second-leading cause of cancer deaths. Simpson's death brings an end to a life marked by both athletic success and controversy.
In 1994, Simpson was acquitted of the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman. The televised trial gripped the nation and drew worldwide attention.
