Former National Football League star OJ Simpson has died. His last days were a battle with cancer. The news of his death was confirmed by his children and grandchildren on Wednesday.
Nicknamed “The Juice”, Simpson was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1985 after a stellar NFL career with the Buffalo Bills and San Francisco 49ers. But his family life was a chapter full of losses.
Simpson was acquitted by a Los Angeles jury in what has been dubbed the “trial of the century” after finding him not guilty in the 1994 deaths of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman.
