OJ Simpson Dead at 76 After Battle with Cancer

O.J. Simpson — one of the most infamous high-profile Americans of all time — is dead after a battle with prostate cancer.

The former NFL great — who stood trial for the double-murder of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman, in the ’90s, only to be acquitted — passed away Wednesday in Las Vegas … this according to his family.

They say he was surrounded by his children and grandchildren when he died Wednesday night
