The troubled athlete was discovered unconscious on Tuesday afternoon at the Love Ranch, a high-end brothel in the perhaps ironically called Crystal, Nevada, where he had been staying since Saturday.

Workers at the legal brothel said that they had seen the 35-year-old take a form of natural Viagra along with cocaine, although medical center sources have told E! News that a blood test had found ‘virtually every drug imaginable’ in the former NBA star’s system.

Another source told entertainment site TMZ that doctors are placing their chances of success at 50/50, and that some form of mind damage is most likely if he should he pull through. Odom has reportedly suffered strokes that are several is on kidney dialysis.

Friends and Family Rally

Odom’s relatives and buddies, including his father and children, have flocked to his bedside, including not-quite-ex-wife Khloe Kardashian, who has been referred to as ‘inconsolable.’ Kardashian and Odom had ready documents and filed for their divorce in July, but apparently those have not yet been rubber-stamped by a court, leaving the 3rd sister that is famous able to make medical decisions on her behalf husband.

Meanwhile, the celebrity’s nearly ex-mother-in-law was seen pacing outside Sunrise Hospital.

‘Please pray for Lamar,’ wrote Kris Jenner on Instagram Wednesday, and also a photograph of her previous son-in-law.

Among visitors towards the hospital yesterday was the Reverend Jesse Jackson, who had been invited to pray by Odom’s bedside. He was able to provide a glimmer of hope.

‘Apparently from what a doctor said, he had been far better off today than yesterday,’ Jackson told the press. ‘He at least has some responsiveness now. He’s got tubes we felt inspired by his presence in him now but. ‘We’re just hands that are holding hoping they can bounce straight back,’ he added.

Odom was referred to as ‘looking lost’ during their stay at the brothel by observers whom spoke to the UK’s Daily Mail. Having been discovered slumped unconscious on his stomach, he was taken up to a nearby hospital where doctors managed to somewhat stabilize their condition.

However, an attempt to airlift him to the Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center in Las Vegas for further therapy had been abandoned when their 6′ 10” frame would reportedly not fit into a helicopter. Instead, he had been driven there by ambulance, a distance of some 60 miles.

Troubled Life

Odom and Khloe Kardashian were married in a ceremony that is hasty weeks after meeting in ’09, however the couple divorced in 2013. Odom was generally known to be struggling with alcohol and drug addiction issues. That year, he had been arrested for a DUI, and soon after checked into rehab.

In a recent episode of the longtime E! hit show checking up on the Kardashians, Khloe said she was concerned that Odom’s drug problem might ‘spiral out of control’ following the current death of his most useful friend.

The former Lakers star had an upbringing that is troubled. His mother died as he was 12, while his father was estranged through the grouped family and based on conversations from the truth show, had also struggled with drug-related issues. He was brought up by a grandmother who had passed away in 2004.

‘Death always is apparently around me personally,’ he once said in a interview with The l . a . Times. ‘I’ve been burying people for an extended time.’
