O.J. Simpson‘s official cause of death has been revealed. In their initial announcement, the late 76-year-old’s children confirmed that he had “succumbed” to a form of cancer but did not disclose what kind.
According to Simpson’s death certificate that was obtained by TMZ on Friday, April 26, Simpson died from prostate cancer. The ex-football star’s estate executor and attorney, Malcolm LaVergne, told the outlet he received the certificate, confirming how he died.
Earlier this month, Simpson’s family announced via social media that he had died.
“On April 10th, our father, Orenthal James Simpson, succumbed to his battle with cancer,” the statement read. “He was surrounded by his children and grandchildren. During this time of transition, his family asks that you please respect their wishes for privacy and grace.”
In the months leading up to his death, Simpson’s health was deteriorating. However, he maintained that he was in good standing.
