OJ Simpson’s cremated remains were turned into jewelry for his children, according to his longtime lawyer.
The football legend turned notorious double murder suspect died in April at age 76 following a short battle with prostate cancer.
He became one of the most infamous figures in America after he was charged with the 1994 murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman.

His ashes were turned into jewelry for his four children – Arnelle, Jason, Sydney and Justin
He did not specify what types of jewelry, just that the process cost $4,243.06 and the pieces were divvied up among his kids – Arnelle, Jason, Sydney and Justin.
LaVergne previously told DailyMail.com that all of his children had agreed to comply with Simpson’s final wishes.
Simpson spent his last year living in a luxurious Las Vegas golf neighborhood that he chose so he could be close to youngest son Justin who was also named an executor of his will.
Justin, now 35, is a realtor who is married to blonde wife Alycia Browne with whom he has two children – the first, Lana Nicole, named for his murdered mother Nicole Brown.
Simpson’s eldest daughter Arnelle, 55, also owns a $795,000 home in the same sprawling golf compound.
His other children live on the east coast with chef Jason, 53, living in Georgia while his oldest child with second wife Nicole, Sydney, now 38, is based in St Petersberg, Florida.

Simpson, a former football running back who played 11 seasons mostly with the Buffalo Bills, was facing mounting debt before he died.
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 never paid and died owing more than $100m to the Goldman and Brown families.
Both families are now expected to pursue claims against his estate, with LaVergne telling DailyMail.com the claims are likely to be accepted, setting up a new court fight.
He faced further legal troubles when he was sentenced to up to 33 years behind bars for armed robbery in Nevada in 2008, but was released in 2017.
