O.J. Simpson's Family Declines to Donate His Brain for CTE Research

Despite multiple requests from scientists, the family of O.J. Simpson plans to cremate his remains, adhering to his final wishes.

O.J. Simpson's family has decided to cremate his body and will not allow his brain to be studied for Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE).
The decision follows multiple requests from medical professionals interested in studying the effects of concussions Simpson sustained during his football career.
Simpson's attorney, Malcolm LaVergne, stated that this decision honors Simpson's own wishes for cremation without scientific examination.
No plans for a traditional funeral have been announced, though a private celebration of life may occur later.
Simpson, who passed away due to prostate cancer at age 76, was a controversial figure due to his acquittal in a high-profile murder trial and subsequent civil case liabilities.
