Nicole Brown Simpson, Grave and Tombstone, Ascension Cemetery, Lake Forest, California, photo

The tombstone and grave site of Nicole Brown Simpson, the murdered ex-wife of former NFL football player O. J. Simpson (Orenthal James Simpson). Nicole was born May 19, 1959 in Frankfurt, West Germany to an American father and German mother. She married Simpson in 1985 and was the mother of his two youngest children. The Simpson's divorced in 1992 after seven years of what has been described as a very rocky and difficult marriage. On June 12, 1994 the murdered bodies of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman were found outside of her home in the Brentwood area of Los Angeles. Several days after the funeral (which O. J. had attended), Simpson was charged with the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. After what was billed as "The Trial of the Century" in 1995, Simpson was found not guilty in a jury trial. A 1997 civil lawsuit filed against Simpson by the Goldman family found that Simpson was liable for the wrongful death and battery of Ron Goldman and the battery of Nicole Brown Simpson. As a result, Simpson was ordered to pay damages of $33.5 million to the Goldman Family.

The grave of Nicole Brown Simpson is in Ascension Cemetery, Lake Forest, California. Nicole was 35 years old at the time of her death. The second name on the tombstone, Louis H. Brown, Jr., is the father of Nicole. Ron Goldman is buried in Pierce Brothers Valley Oaks Memorial Park Cemetery, Westlake Village, California
