News: OJ Simpson Goes On Hunger Strike In Prison, Says: “I Lived My Way So I Am Going To Die My Way”

OJ Simpson has gone on hunger strike in prison, saying, 'I used to live my way, and now I'm going to die my way,' according to sources. The jailed former football star, who is serving out a kidnapping, assault and robbery sentence in a Nevada prison, is reportedly so depressed that he wants to 'just sit down in a corner and die'. The source added that Simpson has stared to lose weight and said guards are not allowed to revive him if he falls unconscious. He is also keeping to himself and refuses to interact with other inmates.

Sources spoke to the National Enquirer about Simpson's hunger strike and worsening health. The source claimed that 66 year old Simpson, who is eligible for parole in 2017 after having an appeal for a new trial turned down last year, wanted to die so that his children would be able to get his millions.

He wants his fortune, which is largely stored in his pension account, to go to daughters Sydney, 28, and Arnelle, 45, and sons Justin, 25, and Jason, 43 - and he's worried they won't get it.

Although Simpson was acquitted of killing his ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman in 1994, Goldman's family were awarded $33 Million in a wrongful death civil suit. Before Simpson is eligible for parole, he has to serve another four year of his 33 year sentence at the Lovelock Correctional Center after losing an appeal last year. His legal team argued he had not received a fair trial in 2008 and that his original attorney had botched the case. However Clark County District Judge Linda Marie Bell denied this.

Simpson was found guilty of kidnapping, armed robbery and other charges in what he said was an attempt to retrieve memorabilia and personal items from two sports collectibles dealers in a casino hotel room.  Simpson was sentenced to between 9 to 33 years in Nevada state prison but was granted parole on some convictions in July, meaning he must serve at least four more years locked up. Simpson's conviction came 13 years to the day after the former movie and TV star was acquitted in the Los Angeles 'trial of the century' in the stabbing deaths of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman.
