O.J. Simpson, whose immense fame on the football field was eclipsed by his infamy off it, died Wednesday according to his family. He was 76.
Simpson had been battling cancer and had been in hospice. Simpson's attorney also confirmed his death to TMZ.
Simpson would never escape the infamy of the double murder trial. More than 20 years later, people were still obsessed with it; FX released "The People vs. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story" in 2016, which was a popular hit, and ESPN released the critically acclaimed five-part "O.J.: Made in America" documentary later that year.
Simpson's death will lead to further exploration of a legacy that is unlike any other in American sports history.
