Suicide bid: O.J. Simpson during his 2008 trial

Disgraced former American Football star O.J. Simpson has gone on hunger strike in jail in a bid to kill himself, according to reports in the U.S.
Simpson, who was convicted of kidnap, assault and robbery in 2008, said: "I used to live my way, and now I'm going to die my way. I want to just sit down in a corner and die."
A source claimed that Simpson, 66, who is eligible for parole in 2017,  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 be distributed between his daughters Sydney, 28, and Arnelle, 45, and sons  Justin, 25, and Jason, 43.
Although Simpson was acquitted of murdering his ex-wife Nicole Brown and  her friend Ron Goldman in 1994.
Goldman's family were awarded £21 million in a subsequent wrongful death civil suit.

"He can't give the kids his money while he's alive without the Goldman family laying claim to it," the source added.
"The only way O.J. figures he can leave his kids the millions is to kill himself."
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.          
The former Buffalo Bills star was sentenced to between nine to 33 years in  Nevada state prison in 2008 but was granted parole on some convictions last July.
As a result he must serve at least three more years before he can be released on parole.
