Last year in May, Simpson posted a video on his X handle to announce that he had been diagnosed with cancer and used medicinal marijuana to lessen the negative effects.

“I had to do the whole chemo thing … I started smoking a couple of puffs a day, and I only had nausea twice. I’m over the chemo. I only got nauseous on two occasions. … The pot really helped me with the unfortunate side of catching cancer,” he wrote.

“I’m healthy now. It looks like I beat it. I’m happy about that,” he further added.

He became one of the most famous and well-liked football players of his day. He captured the Heisman Trophy while at USC, then played successfully for the San Francisco 49ers and the Buffalo Bills. In 1973, he became the first NFL player to rush for more than 2,000 yards in a season. He retired in 1979.

He appeared in films such as The Klansman, The Cassandra Crossing and The Towering Inferno, as well as the miniseries Roots, while still in the NFL.

After retiring from football, he starred in three Naked Gun movies and the comedy Back to the Beach.

But it was not his football career or acting talent that will be remembered more. He was acquitted in the so-called “trial of the century” for the brutal murders of his ex-wife and a male friend. 

What Was the Acquisition Against O.J. Simpson?

O.J. Simpson was one of the most famous football players ever and became a celebrity off the field. But it was that infamous 1995 acquittal in the brutal killings of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman that overshadowed his popularity. 

The legendary former footballer was ultimately found not guilty. And that moment became one of the most-watched in television history. 

However, three years after Simpson’s criminal trial the victims’ families brought in a civil suit where he was found liable. He was ordered to pay $33.5 million in damages.

He was sentenced to 33 years imprisonment on charges of armed robbery in 2008 and was released in 2017.

He is survived by four children — two from his first marriage, and two others from his marriage with Nicole Brown Simpson.
