*O.J. Simpson’s remains have been turned into jewelry for his family members as wearable keepsakes.
According to TMZ, Simpson’s lawyer, Malcolm LaVergne, revealed that his four children—Sydney, Jason, Justin, and Arnelle Simpson—chose to honor their father by creating cremation jewelry. The full process cost around $4,243.06 to complete.
Simpson passed away on April 10 at age 76 after battling cancer. In a statement at the time, his family said, “On April 10th, our father, Orenthal James Simpson, succumbed to his battle with cancer. He was surrounded by his children and grandchildren. During this time of transition, his family asks that you please respect their wishes for privacy and grace.”
Meanwhile, EUR’s Chris Richburg reported, citing an interview with People, that David Brobeck, godfather to Simpson’s youngest child Justin, revealed he and Sydney are “doing really well” years after the murder of their mother, Nicole Brown Simpson. The former NFL standout shared Arnelle, Jason, and Aaren, with his first wife, Marguerite Whitley.
“They’ve grown up, and they have their own families now, and they’re doing really well,” Brobeck told People days after O.J.’s death. “They’re solid solid people and parents, and we just wish them all the best and give them lots of love.”

Although Simpson was famously acquitted in the murder trial of Nicole and Ron Goldman, a Santa Monica civil court later found him liable for their deaths. EUR previously reported that the original $33.5 million judgment has ballooned to approximately $100 million due to accumulated interest on the unpaid debt.
TMZ reports that Simpson’s longtime lawyer is working to gather funds to help settle Simpson’s outstanding debts.
According to LaVergne, Simpson’s estate is nearly worthless, leaving him scrambling to find any sources of revenue to fund it and settle debts with creditors, including the IRS, the California Tax Board, and the Goldman family.
