All of OJ Simpson's children, including the two he had with the woman he was accused of murdering, were all at his bedside in his final moments, according to a report, which also revealed they all had to sign non-disclosure agreements to be there.
On Friday, the medical professional who checked on OJ alerted family members that he was soon going to die, according to TMZ, prompting his family members to rush to his bedside. His two children with Nicole Brown Simpson, Justin and Syndey, were present alongside his two children with Marguerite Whiley, Jason and Arnelle.
Dozens of others, reportedly some 30-50, were also present at OJ's bedside to say thier goodbyes, all of whom had to sign NDA's to enter the room, according to TMZ. Visitors were also barred from bringing cell phones into his bedroom.
Simpson was long regarded as one of the greatest running backs in NFL history but his professional achievements were overshadowed by Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman's deaths and subsequent "trial of the century."
On June 12, 1994, Brown and Goldman were found stabbed to death outside Brown's Los Angeles condo. Simpson, who had a history of domestic violence accusations, was quickly declared a person of interest in the case.
He failed to turn himself into police and instead led law enforcement in a low speed pursuit in a white Ford Bronco. Simpson was represented in court by a high-profile legal team, including Johnnie Cochran and Robert Kardashian, and was found not guilty on both counts of murder.
Following the acquittal, the Goldman family sued Simpson in civil court for the wrongful death and battery of their relative, while the Brown family sued him for battery. Jurors unanimously found Simpson liable for both battery accusations and Goldman's death and he was ordered to pay millions of dollars in damages to both families. Simpson auctioned off many of his belongings, including his Heisman Trophy, to pay damages to the families.
Simpson later generated outrage for publishing a book titled "If I Did It," which described how the murders of Brown and Goldman may have unfolded, hypothetically. Goldman's family sued to gain control of the manuscript and retitled the book "If I Did It: Confessions of the Killer."
