O.J. Simpson, a former American football player, passed away at the age of 76, after battling cancer.
Gatekeepers News reports that Simpson was popular for his career in the National Football League (NFL) as a talented ball carrier.
He retired from the NFL in 1979 and later gained fame in movies and television shows.
However, his popularity turned to infamy in 1994 when he was arrested as a suspect in the murder of his ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman.
Despite DNA evidence linking him to the murders, he was acquitted, with his attorneys arguing that the allegation was fueled by racism.
Simpson was sentenced to 33 years in prison in 2008 for armed robbery, where he attempted to reclaim sports memorabilia he insisted had been stolen from him.
He was released on parole after serving nine years in jail.
