OJ Simpson died on April 11 aged 76 following a battle with cancer, his family announced on social media.

He was a former American football player and actor who was acquitted of the murders of ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman and was later imprisoned for armed robbery and kidnapping.

Simpson initially came into the public eye as a NFL star, playing for Buffalo Bills and San Francisco 49ers before being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

He then turned to acting before a double murder trial which American media dubbed "the trial of the century" - Simpson was represented by the late Robert Kardashian.

But in 2008, Simpson was convicted of armed robbery and kidnapping in Las Vegas after he along with armed men attempted to retrieve sports memorabilia he claimed belonged to him.

After serving the minimum portion of his 33-year sentence in prison, Simpson was granted parole in 2017.
