Family Balks at Donating O.J. Simpson’s Brain for Research

 

Scientists have asked for O.J. Simpson’s brain to be donated for research into a disease that affects former football players, but his family plans to cremate his whole body, the executor of his estate told the New York Post. “With O.J. everything’s wild, but I’ve been getting calls from medical centers that are doing CTE testing asking me for O.J.’s brain... that is not happening,” attorney Malcolm LaVergne said. Simpson, who died at age 76 this week, played football in high school and college and a decade in the NFL. A growing number of ex-athletes have been diagnosed after death with chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a degenerative condition that is linked to emotional problems and violent behavior. LaVergne said that Simpson’s final wishes were that his cremains be given to his children, who will decide what to do with them. “That’s what O.J. wanted. Those are O.J.’s wishes, and that’s what the kids are telling me,” he said.

Exclusive: Owners ready to sell Ford Bronco from O.J. Simpson chase

 

Following the death of O.J. Simpson last week, and with the 30th anniversary of his infamous slow-speed police chase approaching in June, the white Ford Bronco that made that highway run might soon be up for sale.

 

The vehicle's three owners — Simpson's former agent Michael Gilbert and two friends of original owner Al Cowlings — told cllct Sunday night, with interest surging, now is the time to relinquish one of the most well-known vehicles in American history.

 

“Before O.J. passed, we had always thought this was going to be the year we were going to sell because it’s the 30th anniversary,” Gilbert said. “Who knows if we are all going to be around for the 35th or the 40th?”

 

In a conference call with cllct, the three owners said the last offer they received for the 1993 vehicle was $750,000.

 

Since 2016, the car, which was watched by nearly 100 million people as Simpson was pursued by police, has been on loan to the Alcatraz East Crime Museum in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.

 

The owners said they are looking for at least $1.5 million through a public or private sale.
