Legendary football player, screen actor and infamous murder suspect OJ Simpson died Thursday at the age of 76 following a battle with prostate cancer, just two months after his final post on social media assuring fans he was in ‘good health.’

In a nearly two-minute-long video posted ahead of the Super Bowl, the controversial star addressed those who had inquired about his health.

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, NFL Hall of Famer Simpson was fighting off rumors that he was in hospice care.

In the video, Simpson wore a San Francisco 49ers jersey as he spoke in front of a pool. The 49ers were his hometown team, and an organization he played with during his last two years.

He also gave his prediction for the game ahead of the Kansas City Chiefs.

‘I see 24-20 WIN! by the 49ers,’ he said. ‘That’s not hope, I’m basing it on the quality of the football players.’

For Simpson, his prediction turned out to be incorrect as the Chiefs beat the 49ers by a score of 25-22.

On Thursday, Simpson’s family announced he had ‘succumbed to his battle with cancer’ while surrounded by his children and grandchildren.

Smith has been in the limelight for most of his life, first as an NFL running back then as a defendant in one of the most famous trials of all time. He was accused, and later acquitted, of killing his ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ronald Goldman.

The case became famous for its car chase before Simpson’s arrest and months-long trial.

In 2019, on the 25th anniversary of the murder, Simpson launched a Twitter account.

He quickly amassed hundreds of thousands of followers and soon made something of a name for himself as a presence on the app, often posting short videos of himself, in which he offered his opinions and commentary on a range of subjects.

In recent months, Simpson was spotted looking frail during a number of outings in Las Vegas.

In October, Simpson looked nearly unrecognizable as he carried groceries around Sin City in a USC polo – his college team.
