O.J. Simpson’s Battle with Cancer
Former NFL star and accused murderer, O.J. Simpson, tragically lost his fight with cancer in April according to his lawyer and estate executor, Malcolm LaVergne. The cause of Simpson’s passing was confirmed to be prostate cancer, which he had been bravely battling since May 2023. LaVergne shared, “He thought it had beaten it. I thought this was done, but you know how cancers go. They come back, and they come back with a vengeance.”
Legal Battles and Financial Struggles
Aside from his health struggles, O.J. Simpson’s legacy is also plagued by legal and financial turmoil. LaVergne, acting as the executor of Simpson’s estate, made headlines by expressing his intent to prevent the Goldman family from obtaining any money owed to them from a civil judgment against Simpson. This judgment stemmed from his prior murder trial acquittal, where he was held responsible for the deaths of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown, and her friend Ron Goldman in 1994.
Outstanding Debt and Controversy
As Simpson’s lawyer attempts to manage his estate, controversies surrounding the outstanding debt resurface. Fred Goldman’s representative, David Cook, revealed that Simpson still owed over $100 million to the Goldman family, creating further tension and legal complexity in the aftermath of his passing. Despite his athletic success and notoriety, Simpson’s death sheds light on the enduring legal battles and financial burdens clouding his legacy.
