Nicole Brown Simpson's father dies

DANA POINT, Calif., July 5 (UPI) -- Louis Brown Jr., the father of Nicole Brown Simpson, died Thursday, his attorney said. He was 90.

Brown had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, his attorney, Natasha Roit, said, though the cause of his death wasn't reported.

The resident of Dana Point, Calif., founded the Nicole Brown Simpson Charitable Foundation to help victims of domestic violence.

Brown's daughter, the ex-wife of former NFL player O.J. Simpson, died in 1994 along with friend Ronald Goldman. Simpson was acquitted of her slaying.
