OJ Simpson dies aged 76

The NFL star was controversially cleared of double murder in 1995.

Orenthal James Simpson rose to fame as a college footballer before playing in the NFL. In 1995, he was acquitted of the murder of his former wife Nicole Brown and a friend in a trial that gripped America. In 2008, he was sentenced to 33 years' imprisonment on charges of armed robbery. He was released in 2017. His family says he died of cancer. We look back at his life.
