OJ Simpson cremated in Las Vegas, a week after his death

OJ Simpson, the onetime football star infamously tried and acquitted of double-murder charges, was cremated during a private gathering of friends and family in downtown Las Vegas, according to the executor of his estate. Attorney Malcolm LaVergne, who was Simpson's lawyer for 15 years, said he was among those who attended the morning cremation at the Palm Downtown Mortuary & Cemetery, one week after Simpson died at age 76, following a battle with cancer.
