OJ Simpson to be cremated, brain won’t be donated for CTE research, lawyer says

O.J. Simpson’s brain will be incinerated, not investigated, The Post has learned.

The body of the killer and former NFL great is expected to be cremated Tuesday in Las Vegas — with no plans to donate his brain for research despite multiple requests from scientists, a rep for his estate told The Post.

His longtime attorney and executor Malcolm LaVergne said he’s signed off on all the paperwork for Simpson’s cremation, but the family gave a “hard no” to scientists asking to study Simpson’s brain to see if the ex-running back suffered from Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), a degenerative brain disease afflicting many retired football players who suffered multiple concussions during their careers.

Violent behavior is one common symptom of CTE.

“With OJ everything’s wild, but I’ve been getting calls from medical centers that are doing CTE testing asking me for OJ’s brain . . . that is not happening,” LaVergne said.

At least O.J. can get a restful night of sleep knowing that his wife’s murderer is being brought to justice.

The purpose of hiring a hitman is so you can establish an alibi so it doesn’t make sense he was there.

Unless he was so psycho that he wanted to see her go down but didn’t want to do the deed or thought he would mess it up. Supposedly 4 hitmen

What a shame he turned out to be.
He was a great football player back when football players were somewhat respectable men.

He earned his end.

yep.. Mobsters would have done it with a pistol and silencer with no trace of evidence, not wallowing in the sidewalk blood carving on the body wearing OJ’s exact sized Bruno Magli shoes then leaving blood evidence all over Brentwood...
