A coroner in Idaho, where Fuhrman had been living, confirmed his death, but didn’t give the cause. TMZ says he died of an aggressive form of throat cancer, which he was diagnosed with last year.

Lied on the stand

Fuhrman was one of the first detectives to investigate the 1994 murders of Simpson’s ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend, Ron Goldman, at his home in Los Angeles. He reported the infamous bloody glove at Simpson’s home, but the defence attacked his credibility by suggesting racial bias. Fuhrman testified that he never used anti-Black epithets over the past decade, but a recording demonstrated that he had done so a number of times. The criminal court jury found Simpson not guilty.

After Simpson’s acquittal in 1995, Fuhrman retired from the LAPD and moved to an Idaho farm with his wife and children. He became a radio and TV personality and wrote true crime books, including the book Murder in Brentwood. He was also a contributor to Fox News. A year after he retired, Fuhrman pleaded no contest to a felony count of perjury for lying on the stand.

Justice caught up with O.J.

A civil trial jury found Simpson liable for the deaths in 1997 and ordered him to pay $33.5 million to the relatives of Brown and Goldman. Simpson served nine years in prison on other charges unrelated to the murders. He died in Las Vegas of prostate cancer at the age of 76.
