O.J. Simpson’s brain will not be donated for scientific efforts to study it for signs of CTE, according to the executor of his estate.
CTE, or chronic traumatic encephalopathy, is a brain disorder often caused by repeated head injuries. The disorder has been found in boxers and football players; Simpson was well-known for playing college football and then in the NFL until 1979.
Malcolm LaVergne, the chief executor of Simpson’s estate and an attorney for the former NFL and movie star, told NBC News that he was called by “at least” one person claiming to be a “CTE guy who studies the brain,” inquiring about Simpson.
“That’s a hard no,” LaVergne stated. “His entire body, including his brain, will be cremated.”
