O.J. Simpson's Prostate Most cancers Analysis Took a Toll, Frail in Remaining Days

O.J. Simpson‘s cancer battle took a heavy toll on his health over the past year — and in his final days, he was incredibly frail and virtually unrecognizable … TMZ has learned.

Sources with direct knowledge tell us O.J. was, in fact, diagnosed with prostate cancer — something he first alluded to in May 2023 in a video he posted to X. He never offered much detail, and seemed to suggest he had beaten it.

Despite the brave face he put on, our sources tell us the cancer was not at all in remission and greatly impacted his health. Whereas, we’re told, he lived as if he were a younger man — even into his later years — his physical state seriously deteriorated over the past 11 months.

On Wednesday, when he actually passed, we’re told a family member checked on O.J. and realized he wasn’t responsive — so they called in a nurse who declared him dead, and contacted a funeral home.
