Aspiring actor and former O.J. Simpson house guest Brian "Kato" Kaelin says his nephew was killed in the war in Iraq.

"It's devastating to our family," he said during his Friday appearance on the Dave and Carole morning show on WKLH-FM in Milwaukee.

Kaelin became widely known when he testified in the 1995 double-murder trial of Simpson, the former pro football player and actor.

Kaelin said he considered canceling his public appearance because of the death of his nephew, Marine Lance Cpl. Richard Warner. But his sister urged him to go ahead with it in memory of her son, killed in an explosion Monday.
