OJ Simpson's official cause of death has been revealed.
The 76-year-old died earlier this month of prostate cancer, his longtime attorney Malcolm Lavergne told TMZ.
Simpson had revealed he was receiving treatment for cancer before his death, but did not say which kind.
Despite denying he had been in hospice before his death, it's emerged he was released from such a facility days before he died.
The notorious double murder suspect, who was found civilly liable for the deaths of his ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman after being acquitted in criminal court in 1995, passed away at his Las Vegas home.
Simpson became one of the most infamous figures in America after he was charged with the 1994 murders.

It was previously reported that Simpson had been battling prostate cancer and undergoing chemotherapy
The disgraced football star's death was announced on his X account on April 11.
His family said: 'On April 10th, our father, Orenthal James Simpson, succumbed to his battle with cancer.
'He was surrounded by his children and grandchildren. During this time of transition, his family asks that you please respect their wishes for privacy and grace. - The Simpson Family.'
Goldman's father said Simpson's death only serves as a reminder of the agony his family have suffered over the years.
'The only thing that I have to say today is that this is a further reminder of the loss of my son Ron,' Fred Goldman told DailyMail.com.
'It is a further reminder of my son's murder and a reminder about the many years we have missed Ron.'
Simpson, a former football running back who played 11 seasons mostly with the Buffalo Bills, reinvented himself as an actor before Brown and Goldman's murders.
Although cleared of the killings, his reputation was tarnished forever and the latter part of his career was marked by a series of seedy ventures.
After being acquitted, Simpson went on to be found civilly liable for the murders and was later forced to pay out $33.5million in damages to the victims' families.

He faced further legal troubles when he was sentenced to up to 33 years behind bars for armed robbery in Nevada in 2008.
His death comes two months after it was reported that the he was battling cancer and undergoing chemotherapy.
Simpson was pictured looking frail on a number of occasions earlier this year while walking around his Las Vegas neighborhood.
But in February he released a video reassuring fans about his health and stating he was looking forward to the Super Bowl.
Despite a successful NFL career, Simpson was best known for his acquittal following his high-profile murder trial in 1995, dubbed the 'Trial of the Century'.
He was charged with the deaths of Brown and Goldman, who were found brutally stabbed to death outside her Los Angeles home.
The circumstances around his arrest were equally salacious, with the former NFL star leading cops on a low speed chase after learning of the impending charges.

Millions tuned in to watch the 90 minute pursuit of Simpson's white Ford Bronco across southern California.
The athlete crouched in the back with a handgun while friend Al Cowlings drove, before his eventual arrest in Brentwood.
At trial, prosecutors argued Simpson was linked to the crime scene through forensic evidence.
A now-infamous moment saw Simpson struggling to try on a pair of black gloves believed to have been worn by the murderer. One glove was found at the scene, the other near to Simpson's mansion.
Prosecutors said the accused killer acted out of jealousy over his then ex-wife.
