Mark Furhman, ex-LAPD detective who investigated O.J. Simpson, dead at 74
Former Los Angeles police detective Mark Fuhrman, who was convicted of lying during testimony at the OJ Simpson murder trial, has died.
He was 74 years old.
Lynn Acebedo, the chief deputy coroner in Kootenai County, Idaho, said that Fuhrman died May 12. The county does not release the cause of death as a rule.
MORE INFORMATION:
During the trial for the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman, Fuhrman became a key figure after discovering a bloody glove at Simpson’s Rockingham estate.
Prosecutors said the item matched a glove found at the scene where the two victims were murdered.
His involvement in the trial later led to significant controversy and damaged his credibility after audio recordings surfaced in which he used racial slurs.
Fuhrman was accused of lying on the witness stand and was convicted of perjury in 1996, making him the only person associated with the case to be convicted of a crime related to the trial.
After retiring from the LAPD in 1995, he remained in the public eye as a true crime author and a talk radio host.
