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.

That was my thought, too. Studying his brain for WHAT?
Actually, they had permission to take his brain - but they couldn’t find it.
Mark you calendar for April 31, 2024.
National Day of Mourning for O.J. Simpson.
Like it’s not going to be hot enough where he’s going?.......
Just getting the job done earlier. That is what I’m going
to do and have my ashes scattered in a pond I grew up next
to.
Yep. That’s it :)
You should very well know, Herr Blucher!
Love your nick!
You think Im kidding? Im not. Blacks are very scared of the undead, zombies, reanimation. etc. And OJ coming back would look bad for all of them what have been covering for him.
Sounds like a head start to me.
The shooter who killed 14 people at UT Austin in 1966 was found to have a brain tumor. Some experts blamed his increasingly violent nature on the brain tumor.
It is quite possible that OJ had brain damage that caused him to commit the murders. Or they were just a crime of passion. Either way, he got away with it.
I read, a long time ago, he was on SSRIs at the time.
😂 😂
Just your name does that!
They called him a killer in this article, even though he was never convicted. I mean we may all know he’s a killer but should a newspaper say that?
They should donate his brain to criminal science
Someone has come out and said OJ was there but Gambino family did it. He had to wait until dead before he could come forward
I think I remember stories about oj beating Nicole. Brain damage,warrior gene, drugs..or maybe he was just psycho. Science should have looked at charles Manson DNA and brain. I bet his heir would have accepted money for it..
It sure seemed like a crime of passion, likely done by someone on drugs. It did not seem like any sort of professional hit.
