O.J. Simpson’s lawyer reveals what happened to his ashes after his death
According to his lawyer, OJ Simpson’s cremated remains were made into jewelry for his children.
The football legend and notorious double murder suspect died in April at the age of 76 after a short battle with prostate cancer.
He became one of the most notorious figures in America after he was charged with the 1994 murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman.
Simpson was cremated in a private ceremony in Las Vegas, with no larger memorial service.
Malcolm LaVergne, Juice’s longtime attorney and executor of his estate, said TMZ His ashes were made into jewelry for his four children.

He did not specify what type of jewelry was involved, but said it cost $4,243.06 to make and was divided among his children: Arnelle, Jason, Sydney and Justin.
LaVergne previously told DailyMail.com that all of his children had agreed to Simpson’s final wishes.
Simpson spent his last years in a luxury Las Vegas golf community, chosen so he could be close to his youngest son, Justin, who had also been named executor of his will.
Justin, now 35, is a real estate agent married to his blonde wife Alycia Browne, with whom he has two children. The first is named Lana Nicole, after his murdered mother Nicole Brown.
Simpson’s eldest daughter Arnelle, 55, also owns a $795,000 home on the same sprawling golf course.
His other children live on the East Coast, with chef Jason (53) in Georgia, while his eldest child lives with his second wife Nicole (Sydney, now 38) in St. Petersburg, Florida.

Simpson, a former football running back who played 11 seasons, primarily with the Buffalo Bills, was struggling with mounting debt before his death.
Although he was acquitted of the murders, his reputation was forever tarnished and the latter part of his career was marked by a series of shady ventures.
After Simpson was acquitted, he was held civilly liable for the murders and was later forced to pay $33.5 million in damages to the victims’ families.
He never paid and died owing more than $100 million to the Goldman and Brown families.
Both families are expected to file claims against his estate. LaVergne told DailyMail.com that the claims are likely to be accepted, prompting a new lawsuit.
He faced further legal troubles when he was sentenced to up to 33 years in prison in Nevada in 2008 for armed robbery, but was released in 2017.
