OJ Simpson spoke to close friends and family in the days leading up to his death, but he did not confess to any crimes before passing away.
News of the former NFL star’s death broke this Thursday, with his family revealing he had passed the previous day.
People immediately wondered whether he discussed the killings of his ex-wife Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman, and rumors of a confession eventually spread. However, a source has told TMZ that no such thing happened and that the claims were “totally false.”
“Unless being thirsty and asking for water is a confession … or wanting to watch the golf tournament. Nothing about the LA thing came up or was even thought about,” the source said.

The “L.A. thing” is, of course, a reference to the double murder of Nicole and Ron 30 years ago. Simpson infamously led police on a low-speed chase before surrendering himself after the LAPD made him their prime suspect.
He was acquitted 11 months later but was found liable in 1997 after Brown’s family filed a civil wrongful death suit against him.
