Overview
- The Kootenai County coroner’s office confirmed Monday that Fuhrman died May 12 in Idaho, with TMZ and his representative reporting an aggressive throat cancer as the cause.
- As an LAPD detective in 1994, he reported finding a bloody glove at O.J. Simpson’s Rockingham home that prosecutors said matched one from the murder scene.
- During the 1995 trial, defense attorneys played tapes of Fuhrman using racist slurs after he had denied it under oath, damaging his credibility and fueling claims that evidence may have been mishandled.
- Fuhrman retired from the LAPD in August 1995, pleaded no contest to felony perjury in 1996 over his testimony, and was formally barred from future police work in California in 2024.
- Reactions on Monday included condolences from Ron Goldman’s father and Nicole Brown Simpson’s sister, and former colleague Tom Lange praised Fuhrman’s work while acknowledging past disagreements.
