Two

life
for his
1995
trial
for
the
murders of ex-wife Nicole
Brown
Simpson and
her
friend Ron
Goldman—died
at
age
76,
his
cause
of
death
has
been
confirmed.
Simpson
died
after
a
private
battle
with
prostate
cancer,
his
attorney Michael Lavergne,

Earlier
this
month,
Simpson’s

Arnelle and Jason,
from
his
first
marriage
to Marguerite
Whitley,
and Sydney and Justin,
from
his
marriage
to

posted
on
their

“On

James
Simpson,
succumbed
to
his

During
this
time
of
transition,
his
family
asks
that
you
