Lamar Odom fights for life in Las Vegas hospital

Support continues to pour in for former Los Angeles Laker Lamar Odom after he was found unresponsive at a brothel and rushed to hospital in a coma Tuesday afternoon.

CNN reports:

Odom was found unresponsive Tuesday at the Love Ranch in Crystal, the Nye County Sheriff’s Office said. “He doesn’t look good,” brothel owner Dennis Hof said. “He doesn’t look like he’ll make it, and if he does, he won’t be the same.” Officials haven’t said what was wrong with Odom, and his condition remains unclear. Authorities originally planned to fly him to a hospital, but said the 6-foot-10 Odom was too tall to fit in a helicopter. He was taken by ambulance to a hospital in Las Vegas — about 60 miles away. Odom, 35, won two NBA championships as a forward for the Los Angeles Lakers.

Word of Odom’s hospitalization spread like wildfire Tuesday night with basketball players  and celebrities like Dwyane Wade, Lance Stephenson, the Miami Heat and Lakers teams tweeting their support. It was reported that Kobe Bryant even left a game to be by Lamar’s side. Reports are that Lamar’s ex-wife Khloe Kardashian, her mother Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian-West have also flown to Vegas to be by his side. His condition is being treated as an overdose.
