Legendary football player, screen actor, an d murder suspect OJ Simpson died Thursday at the age of 76 following a battle with prostate cancer, just two months after his final post to X, in which he assured fans he was in ‘good health.’
In a nearly two-minute video he posted ahead of the Super Bowl, the controversial superstar addressed those who had inquired about his health in recent weeks.
In February, it was revealed that Simpson had prostate cancer and was undergoing chemotherapy treatments in Las Vegas.
‘Thank you to all the people who reached out to me. My health is good,’ he said in the video filmed by a pool.
‘Obviously I’m dealing with some issues, but I think i’m just about over it, and I’ll be back on that golf course hopefully in a couple of weeks.’
At the time, he was fighting off rumors that he was in hospice care.
On Thursday, his family announced he had ‘succumbed to his battle with cancer’ while surrounded by his children and grandchildren.
