He had been battling prostate cancer, but had also just revealed back in February of his diagnosis and had denied reports of being in hospice. Over the past few months his health had made a turn for the worst and led him to be in hospice.
Simpson is infamously known for his case involving Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman’s death in 1994 where he was acquitted in the case and not guilty.
