OJ Simpson cancer death live updates: Khloe Kardashian’s social media comments flooded with ‘condolences’ stemming from longtime conspiracy theory

O.J. Simpson — who became one of the most infamous figures in the US during his murder trial in the ’90s — has died after a cancer battle.

The former NFL star died Wednesday in Las Vegas, his family confirmed. He was 76.

Caitlyn Jenner, whose ex-wife, Kardashian matriarch Kris Jenner was best friends with Nicole Brown Simpson, Simpson’s ex-wife whom he was acquitted of murdering in “the trial of the century,” was one of the first celebrities to publicly react.

The family of Ron Goldman, whom Simpson was also accused and then acquitted of murdering alongside Brown, called Simpson’s death is “no great loss to the world.”
