Lamar Odom is fighting for his life after he was found unconscious at a Nevada brothel on Tuesday, October 13. The hospitalization came after a three-day booze and pills bender. A source revealed to RadarOnline that it “doesn’t look good” for the former NBA star. Click through to get all of the latest developments on the health crisis.
An insider revealed to Radar that Khloe Kardashian’s ex-husband’s “kidneys are failing” and his “lungs have collapsed.” The source added, “He’s unconscious but his heart is fine… his heart is the only thing that is fine.”
Although eyewitnesses at the brothel revealed that they “didn’t see him do anything but drink and pop herbal Viagra,” online reports are now claiming that the Khloe & Lamar star had track marks on his arms and cocaine in his system. “Virtually every drug imaginable was found in his system,” a source told E!. “He was doing crack cocaine all weekend and he choked on his mucous. They’re now having to fix all the damage it has done.”
E! reported that although Lamar has suffered brain damage, he isn’t brain dead. “There’s brain damage, but they’re not sure how much,” a source told the website. “The long term effects of his drug use have taken a toll on his body and the binge this time was too much to handle.”
