Ex-NBA star Lamar Odom, estranged husband of Khloe Kardashian, found comatose outside Nevada brothel
Former NBA and reality TV star Lamar Odom was taken to hospital after he was found unconscious on Tuesday at a Nevada brothel, authorities said.
The Nye County Sheriff’s Department was called about 3.15pm to Love Ranch in Crystal, Nevada about 100km outside of Las Vegas for a report of an unresponsive man needing an ambulance, Sheriff Sharon Wehrly said.
Odom was stabilised and taken to Desert View Hospital in nearby Pahrump, the statement said. Officials then tried to have him airlifted to Las Vegas, but he was too tall for the helicopter that was available and he was driven by ambulance to Sunrise Hospital and Medical Centre.
There was no further word on Odom’s condition.
The emergency call came from Richard Hunter, media director for Dennis Hof, who owns the Love Ranch and other brothels in Nevada, the sheriff’s statement said. Hof did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
