Simpson became one of America’s most infamous figures after being accused of murdering his ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman in 1994.
He was later acquitted of the murders.
Simpson, a former football running back who played 11 seasons with the Buffalo Bills, reinvented himself as an actor before the Brown and Goldman murders.
Although acquitted of the murders, his reputation was forever ruined and the latter part of his career was marked by a series of sordid enterprises.
After being acquitted, Simpson was found civilly liable for the murders and was later forced to pay $33.5 million in damages to the Brown and Goldman families.
He faced more legal problems when he was sentenced to nine to 33 years behind bars for armed robbery in Nevada in 2008.
It was previously reported that Simpson was battling prostate cancer and was undergoing chemotherapy.
