The remains of the late football star O.J. Simpson have been turned into jewelry.
Four months after Simpson’s death, Malcolm LaVergne — his long-time lawyer and now executor of his estate — told TMZ that his remains had been turned into cremation jewelry for his four surviving children: Arnelle, 55, Jason, 54, Sydney, 38, and Justin, 36.
LaVergne, noting that he himself did not want this, shared that the total cost of the cremation, jewelry, and death certificates amounted to $ 4,243.06.
Simpson, who was diagnosed with prostate cancer in May 2023, passed away in April at the age of 76, with the cause of death being cancer. He was cremated in a private ceremony in Las Vegas without a larger memorial service.
According to LaVergne, Simpson had previously told his children where he wanted his ashes to be scattered, but the location is known only to them, and all four agreed to his wishes.
The Las Vegas lawyer said at the time of Simpson’s death: «O.J. wouldn’t want anyone to mourn him. He would tell you straight up that he had a wonderful, happy life. Of course, he had trials and tribulations, but his last seven years were fantastic, so he wouldn’t want anyone to pity him».
In the final days, Simpson’s children visited the former NFL player, and according to TMZ, they all signed non-disclosure agreements.
Simpson spent most of his life in the spotlight, first as an NFL player, and then as a defendant in one of the most famous trials of all time — the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman in 1994.
Nicole — the mother of Sydney and Justin — was 35, and Ron was 25.
O.J. was famously acquitted of the double murder charges, but was later found liable for their deaths in a civil suit brought by the Goldman family.
Simpson still owes the Goldman family over $ 100 million after being ordered to pay $ 33.5 million: $ 8.5 million in compensatory damages to the Goldman family and $ 25 million in punitive damages, forcing LaVergne to liquidate most, if not all, of O.J.'s assets to settle the debt left by him.
Simpson shared Arnelle and Jason with his ex-wife Marguerite Whitley. The former couple, who divorced in 1979, were also parents to daughter Aaren, who tragically passed away in the same year, just a few days before her second birthday
