The cremated bones of O.J. Simpson have been converted into jewelry, according to Malcolm LaVergne, his longtime attorney and current executor of his estate.
OJ Simpson’s children now have a heartfelt way to keep him close after his death in April.
However, O.J.’s attorney told TMZ that the jewelry was divided among Simpson’s four adult children, Arnelle, 55, Jason, 54, Sydney, 38, and Justin, 36. He did not, however, specify what kind of jewelry the juice’s ashes were turned into.
O.J. Simpson lost his fight with cancer at the age of 76.
LaVergne stated that he was not interested in owning a portion of O.J’s remains and that he did not have a piece produced for himself.

The attorney also disclosed that the entire expense of making the jewelry pieces for cremation and creating the death certificates came to $4,243.06.
After Simpson’s passing, giving out jewelry was probably one of the more emotional responsibilities LaVergne has had to handle.
He is also in the process of paying off the roughly $270,000 debt owed by his former customer.
According to a Yahoo Finance story, LaVergne is attempting to sell off some of Simpson’s possessions, including his house in Las Vegas, in order to pay off his creditors.
In addition, the lawyer is battling to prevent Ron Goldman’s family from receiving any money from a $30 million wrongful death action that sprang from Simpson’s 1994 murder trial.
Simpson was charged with killing Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson, his ex-wife.
Although Goldman’s family was successful in their civil wrongful death action against O.J. Simpson in 1997, he was found not guilty at a criminal trial.
Despite winning, a Florida statute safeguarding O.J. Simpson’s NFL pension meant the family never saw any money from the judgment.
Ron’s father, Fred Goldman, is attempting to collect once more, but this time in Nevada.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal published a report in which LaVergne stated that he would handle Goldman’s claim “in accordance with Nevada law.”
A substantial $500,000 tax lien that the state of California imposed on Simpson’s estate in May will also require the attorney’s attention while that case is still pending.
