OJ Simpson, the former American footballer turned actor who was controversially cleared of double murder, has died aged 76.

San Francisco-born Orenthal James Simpson rose to fame as a college footballer before playing in the NFL.

In 1995, he was acquitted of the murder of his former wife Nicole Brown and a friend in a trial that gripped America.

According to a family statement, Simpson died of cancer on Wednesday surrounded by his children and grandchildren.
