Ex-star Odom in critical condition
Print Edition
Former NBA player and reality television star Lamar Odom was reported to be on a respirator and fighting for his life in a Las Vegas hospital yesterday after being found unresponsive at a Nevada brothel.
Odom, 35, the ex-husband of Khloe Kardashian, suffered a medical emergency on Tuesday at the Love Ranch in Crystal, Nevada, about 50 kilometers northwest of Las Vegas, the Nye County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.
Odom, who starred for the Los Angeles Lakers from 2004 through 2011, was taken to Sunrise Hospital in Las Vegas, it said.
Sunrise Hospital could not be reached for information on his condition. But celebrity website TMZ.com, which broke the news of the emergency, cited unidentified sources yesterday as saying Odom was in a coma and that some of his organs were failing.
Kardashian, whose whirlwind romance with Odom was captured in the reality show “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” and its spin-off “Khloe and Lamar” is at his bedside, TMZ and Us Weekly reported. The couple split in 2013 after four years of marriage and their divorce was finalized in July.
The owner of the Love Ranch, Dennis Hof, said Odom had arrived at the legal brothel on Saturday. “He was polite and reserved and he told multiple employees that he was there to get some privacy and spend some time relaxing,” Hof said in an email.
