Fred Goldman told NBC News that the death of Simpson is a 'further reminder of the loss of my son', following the announcement of the NFL star's passing earlier today (11 April).

"On April 10th, our father, Orenthal James Simpson, succumbed to his battle with cancer," a family statement read.

"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."
