O.J. Simpson's longtime lawyer in Las Vegas says the end came quickly
O.J. Simpson's last robust discussion with his longtime lawyer was just before Easter, at the country club home Simpson leased southwest of the Las Vegas Strip. “He was awake, alert and chilling,” attorney Malcom LaVergne recalled Tuesday. “He’s on the couch ... drinking a beer and watching TV. And so that was the last time we had effective back-and-forth conversations. He’s usually the one who keeps me up on the news ... so we were just catching up on the news then.
' He said Simpson's body won't be studied for the effects of chronic brain trauma from possible effects of blows to the head during his 11 years as a running back in the NFL. “Mr. Simpson, to my understanding, had expressed his wishes to his children,' LaVergne said. “And so they are going to act upon those wishes.” Simpson wanted to be cremated, the attorney said, and — pending a decision from his family — there was no immediate plan for a public memorial.
