Obituary
Fuhrman famously found the bloody glove at Simpson's estate and drew condemnation after a recording of him spewing racist language surfaced
Mark Fuhrman, the former Los Angeles Police detective who became a controversial figure in the O.J. Simpson trial, has died at the age of 74.
The Kootenai County coroner’s office confirmed Fuhrman died on May 12 in Idaho. The cause of death was not immediately revealed, but a source tells Rolling Stone the ex-detective had been battling cancer.
Fuhrman was 42 when he vaulted to international fame as the investigator who found the bloody glove at Simpson’s estate after the former football star’s ex-wife, Nicole Brown, and her friend Ron Goldman were found stabbed to death on June 12, 1994. A key witness for prosecutors at Simpson’s so-called “Trial of the Century,” Furhman faced intense backlash when a 1985 tape surfaced of him boasting about mistreating Black people and using the n-word.
