Two weeks after O.J. Simpson passed away on April 10, his official cause of death has been revealed.

According to TMZ, the “Juice” died from prostate cancer, and the executor of his estate Malcolm LaVergne reportedly received a death certificate confirming as much.
Making it to the ripe old age of 76—after decades of controversy and scrutiny over whether he did or did not have a hand in the death of his wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman—OJ reportedly spent months in hospice before being leaving to live out the rest of his days at home.
O.J. first revealed that he was battling cancer in 2023, and in the weeks leading up to his death he appeared frail. But that didn’t stop his charisma in interviews, telling men to “never admit” in one of his last interviews.
Succumbing to cancer at home reportedly surrounded by family and friends, O.J.’s executor LaVergne seemed to waste no time in pledging to block lawyers representing the families of Brown and Goldman from receiving any of the former athlete’s money, Page Six reported.
LaVergne clarified that his comments were directed at lawyers, not the families.
“Within an hour of knowing that OJ died, he started talking s–t,” LaVergne said of Goldman’s lawyer. “My advocate instinct, [it] was, ‘Oh, you’re gonna keep s–tting on him even after he’s dead? Fine, you know? You get nothing.’”
He has since confirmed that things are going as planned in terms of claims made by families.
“I can tell you in advance, Fred Goldman’s claim will be accepted. And his claim will be handled in accordance with Nevada law,” LaVergne told the Hollywood Reporter.
Love him or loathe him, O.J. represented a lot of things for Black people, and his public persona has had an undeniable impact on pop culture—creating a laundry list of outrageous moments.
Now that he is resting, here’s hoping all parties affected by his life may find some rest as well.
And no, for the last time, he was not Khloe Kardashian’s father.
