Former NFL great turned criminal, O.J. Simpson, has issued a plea for clemency to President Obama, claiming he may have brain cancer and should be allowed to leave his Nevada jail cell and go free. The 66-year-old is currently serving a 33-year sentence for kidnapping and robbery.

But he’s being tested for a tumor on his brain to determine whether he has cancer and he’s convinced that he’s due to die any day now, Huffington Post reports. “A source close to” Simpson who said, “He put off the doctors for weeks after he first started experiencing the symptoms because he was afraid of what they would find.”

The Washington Times reports that Simpson’s health has been deteriorating for years. “He’s gained weight since his imprisonment, and also suffers from blurred vision, stuttering and failing hearing,” according to the paper.

Simpson, who was jailed in 2008, would be eligible for parole in 2017.
