O.J. Simpson: Run Out Of Juice?

Recommended Posts

TMZ gave more information about his last months. They wrote his health deteriorated rapidly over the past 11 months, and was in and out of the hospital during that time. When the cancer was unlikely going to be beaten, he was put in hospice. After another visit to the hospital 2 weeks ago, he was sent home to live out his remaining days. The end came quickly once his family arrived. He also made no deathbed confession.

 

OJ gave a cryptic Twitter video about him having cancer last May, but didn't mention what type and also was confident he beat it. In a February video, he denied he was going into hospice care. I'm not sure if he'd be the type that would reveal if he was literally fighting for his life, but it seems like the end was very quick especially.

They're all going now - OJ's relationship with his children from the marriage to his murdered wife would be interesting to know more about. Did they really believe their father was innocent? Reports state his children and grandchildren were present at his death - did those gloves finally fit?
