According to O.J. Simpson’s longstanding lawyer, Malcolm LaVergne, his late client’s memory lives on in a special—and perhaps peculiar—way. The infamous NFL star was cremated after passing away in April at the age of 76 from cancer.

TMZ has now reported that Simpson’s ashes have been distributed among the athlete’s adult children. To be more specific, his kids—Arnelle, Sydney, Jason and Justin—agreed to have his ashes turned into various pieces of jewelry.
As Simpson’s attorney, LaVergne had to consent to the process in order for it to happen. LaVergne told the outlet that he did not receive any of the jewelry because he didn’t want any. He also stated that the cost of the process was $4,243.06 and it includes the price of the jewelry, cremation and death certificates.
As executor of Simpson’s estate, the lawyer is currently preoccupied with the process of settling his late client’s debt of almost $270,000. Per Yahoo Finance, LaVergne is attempting to liquidate some of Simpson’s assets which includes his home in Las Vegas to satisfy his creditors.
He is also working to stop the family of Ron Goldman from receiving payment on a $30 million wrongful death lawsuit. The suit was a result of Simpson’s 1994 murder trial, in which he was accused of killing his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson as well as Goldman.
He was ultimately acquitted. However, Goldman’s family won a civil wrongful death lawsuit against Simpson in 1997. They never received any money due to a Florida law that protected Simpson’s NFL pension.
However, Goldman’s father Fred, has not given up on the claim. Now, he is attempting to collect the money in the state of Nevada. Fred requested that his claim become “domesticated in Nevada to become a valid creditor claim against a Nevada estate.”
LaVergne told The Las Vegas Review-Journal that he will deal with the request “in accordance with Nevada law.”
