OJ Simpson to be cremated and no plans to donate brain to science, lawyer says

Malcolm LaVergne, executor of Simpson's estate, says hard no' to brain being given to study effects of playing in NFL

A lawyer who represented OJ Simpson said there were no plans to donate the former NFL player's brain to science and that his body would be cremated.

Simpson, who became the subject of an intense national debate in America after he was accused - and cleared - of the 1994 murder of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman, died last week aged 76. He was later found liable for the two killings in a civil case.
