The demise of retired LAPD officer Mark Fuhrman, a key player in the O.J. Simpson murder case, is being mourned by Ron Goldman’s father and Nicole Brown Simpson’s sister. Fred Goldman, Ron’s father, told TMZ:

“Anytime anyone dies, it’s a shame.”

Tanya Brown, Nicole’s sister, told TMZ,

“This is a big one and a huge loss.”

In the O.J. murder case, Mark famously found the bloody glove. Later, when the defense proved he had used the n-word, Mark destroyed the prosecution. After fighting throat cancer, he passed away in Idaho on Tuesday.

Tanya and Fred both told us that they don’t hold Mark responsible for O.J.’s acquittal. Following the O.J. trial, Mark was found guilty of felony perjury, making him the only person ever found guilty of any crime related to the killings of Ron and Nicole.

Tanya states:

Mark was seventy-four.
