Posted on Apr 06, 2009 @ 07:53PM
O.J. Simpson’s sister Carmelita Durio died Monday, leaving the jailed former football star sobbing, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.
Durio, 60, passed away in a Sacramento-area hospital from complications of diabetes.
When Simpson was told the bad news he broke down in his prison cell at the Locklove Detention Center near Reno, Nevada, a source familiar with the situation told RadarOnline.com.
Durio attended Simpson’s Las Vegas trial for armed robbery and kidnapping in connection with the theft of sports memorabilia from a hotel room. The siblings were extremely close, family sources told RadarOnline.com. Durio is a year younger than Simpson.
“Since Simpson was sent to prison Carmelita’s health deteriorated,” a source told RadarOnline.com. “He blames his Las Vegas legal woes and prison sentence for his sister’s death. He believes sending him to prison broke her heart and she’s dead because of it.”
