When someone is found near death at a brothel you generally get the impression that any new details emerging aren’t going to be the positive kind. In Lamar Odom’s case you’d be correct, the latest round of deets showing he was in the midst of a bender.
According to a 911 call released by the Nye County Sheriff’s Department Odom was using some performance enhancers during his stay at the Love Ranch. Here’s USA Today:
Sheriff Sharon Wehrly said two employees of the Love Ranch stated Odom was unresponsive when they called 911 on Tuesday afternoon at 3:15 p.m. and informed dispatch of his drug use.
“They confirmed his (cocaine) usage on Saturday but were unsure if it had continued throughout the weekend,” Sheriff Wehrly said at a media conference on Wednesday afternoon. “They also informed dispatch that he had used up to 10 tabs of sexual performance supplements”…
John [an employee of the Love Ranch] called 911 frantically a second time urging dispatchers to hurry, as Odom had “blood coming out of his nose and white stuff coming out of his mouth.”
The Daily Mail seem to believe that a certain TV show may have pushed the former basketballer over the edge:
Brothel owner Dennis Hof says Odom was in high spirits when he picked the athlete up at his LA gated community on Saturday, but says he became ‘bummed’ after receiving a phone call on Sunday.
…the phone call was related to his portrayal on the reality show Keeping up with the Kardashians, and that after taking the call he became ‘irate’ and remained inconsolable up until he was found unconscious.
…Odom was allegedly triggered by a re-run of Keeping Up With The Kardashians which aired on Sunday, in which Khloe told the cameras she was worried Lamar would ‘spiral’ out of control after the recent drug-related death of his best friend. A Kardashian spokesman told Daily Mail Online that Odom’s medical emergency ‘had nothing to do with the show’.
The Kardashian / Jenner clan might have more to do than stay by his bedside, with Gawker reporting that Khloe and Odom are in fact still legally married:
Although Odom and Kardashian filed for divorce earlier this year and separated for over a year before that, a backlog in the courts means the split might not be final for another two months.
This essentially means that Khloe will make any necessary medical decisions on behalf of Odom.
In case you were wondering whether all this is being filmed they family insist there are no cameras present. For that we can all be thankful…
