Fuhrman’s death was confirmed Monday by Lynette Acebedo, the chief deputy coroner in Kootenai County, Idaho.
“There will be no other information provided through this office,” Acebedo said in a brief statement.
Fuhrman had found a bloody glove on Simpson’s property the night of the 1994 slayings.

Fuhrman was later convicted of lying on the witness stand and barred from law enforcement.
