Simpson was diagnosed with prostate cancer in May 2023 and since then he was struggling due to his health issues. Despite of this he marked both athletic achievements and legal controversies in his tumultuous life.

“His entire body, his brain, everything, his fake hips, his fake knees, everything. That all goes into the crematorium.” Simpson’s brain was inquired about by scientists, leading to a “hard no”, as said by LaVergne. LaVergne also stated that, “With O.J. everything’s wild, but I’ve been getting calls from medical centers that are doing CTE testing asking me for O.J.’s brain . . . that is not happening”.
