Fred Goldman, father of O.J. Simpson's alleged murder victim Ron Goldman, shared a statement with Rolling Stone following the news of Simpson's death.

“The only thing I have to say is that today is just a further reminder of how long we have missed my son, how long he’s been gone, and the only thing that is important today are the victims,” Goldman says. “That’s it. I have nothing else to say.” Brown Simpson and Goldman were found stabbed to death outside her Los Angeles home on June 12, 1994. The murders led to one of the most infamous court cases in American history, with Simpson charged with the two murders. The trial/media circus spanned 10 months in 1995 and ultimately ended with Simpson’s acquittal.
Afterward, Goldman’s family took civil action against Simpson, filing a wrongful death lawsuit against him. In 1997, a jury found Simpson liable for Goldman and Brown Simpson’s deaths, and he was ordered to pay the Goldman family $33.5 million in damages.

Few details about his diagnosis have been released. Earlier this year, a television station in Las Vegas, where Simpson had been living, reported that he was undergoing treatment for cancer, and while Simpson neither confirmed nor denied the reports, he did rebuff rumors that he was in hospice care. Just before the Super Bowl, he posted a video on social media saying his health was good, adding, “I mean, obviously, I’m dealing with some issues but I think I’m just about over it.
