Lamar Odom Found Unconscious At Nevada Brothel, Rushed To Hospital

Developing: The NBA free agent — who is currently in divorce proceedings with Khloé Kardashian — is receiving medical treatment in Nevada, BuzzFeed News confirms.

Evan Agostini / AP

NBA free agent Lamar Odom was rushed to a Las Vegas hospital Tuesday after being found unconscious in a Nevada brothel, the business owner told BuzzFeed News.

Dennis Hof, owner of the Love Ranch South, said two women at the brothel found Odom unconscious in his room Tuesday. It appeared that Odom had taken too much "herbal Viagra," he said.

Odom arrived at the Pahrump, Nevada, brothel on Saturday and was "having a great time partying." The former NBA player ordered a bottle of Cognac over the weekend but had not finished it by Tuesday, Hof added.

"We called 911, and the 911 told my staff what to do: Turn him over on his left side," Hof told NBC. "There was this terrible foaming stuff coming out of him. He was throwing up, a little bit of blood."

Paramedics arrived at the brothel, about 20 miles north of Pahrump, at 3:34 p.m and Odom was described as unresponsive, Nye County Sheriff Sharon A. Wehrly said in statement.

Odom was stabilized at the business and then rushed to Desert View Hospital in Pahrump to be treated.

Odom was then taken to Sunrise Hospital in Las Vegas for further treatment, she said. Officials were planning to transport him there by helicopter, but were unable to because of his height, Wehrly said.

Odom's estranged wife, Khloé Kardashian, was expected to fly to Las Vegas with her mother, Kris Jenner, and sister Kim Kardashian West later in the evening, E! News reported.

Nye County detectives also responded to the brothel to conduct an investigation.

"I was told he was not looking good," Hof said. "It looks like he might have taken too much herbal Viagra."

Odom began his NBA career in 1999 with the Los Angeles Clippers. Last year, he was waived by the New York Knicks.

In 2009, he married Khloé Kardashian and became a regular presence on the family's reality TV shows. She filed for divorce in 2013, but a judge has yet to sign the papers.

Representatives for Kardashian and Odom did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

As news of Odom's hospitalization spread, the Los Angeles Lakers — Odom's former team — prepared to play in Las Vegas. A team spokesperson told the Orange County Register they were "concerned," and the L.A. Daily News reported some players were trying to find out which hospital was treating Odom.

Other players offered their prayers to Odom and his family.

Everything I Learnt About My Body Through Playing Sport

Big does not mean bad.

Hi. This is me. I'm a 5-foot-8-inch, 16-stone human being and this is what I look like.

Hi. This is me. I'm a 5-foot-8-inch, 16-stone human being and this is what I look like.

Rebecca Hendin/Iona St Joseph/BuzzFeed

I've always had things I want to achieve, and until fairly recently there was always some kind of weight-related goal on there. My diet and exercise knowledge was severely limited, but I did know one thing, and that was that I wanted to be 10 stone.

I haven't been 10 stone since 1999. I know that because when I was 11 years old, we had a science lesson where we had to weigh and measure ourselves, and then write the results on the board. I was happy enough to write up my height, but I lied about my weight. When the scales said 10 stone, I wrote 9 stone on the board, because I didn't want to be heavier than my female classmates. Despite the fact that I was one of the tallest in my year, a fact I was proud of, I didn't want my weight to be up there with the boys. At 11 years old that is not something I should've been concerned about.

I don't think anyone ever told me I should be skinny, and I certainly wasn't fat, but I had this feeling of embarrassment when it came to admitting my weight.

But I've recently joined a local women's rugby team, and despite almost 20 years of playing competitive sport throughout school, university, and in the big wide world of adulthood, it has already changed the relationship I have with my body. Being good at sport has always made me feel slightly better about myself, but taking up rugby has really made me feel differently towards my body. All 5 feet 8 inches, 16 stone of it.

Guys. Newsflash. We're not all the same size. Like, you know how some people are taller than others and we don't really lose our shit over that? It's perfectly logical that some people might just be wider than others. It's not shoulder fat that stops a fitted blazer stretching across my back.

I spent so long wishing that I was smaller and skinnier, but I'm so over that now. I'm not bashing skinny people at all, I mean that's the way you are. I've come to accept that I'm never going to be a size 8 and that's OK. My size means I can do things other people can't do. I can hold my own on the rugby pitch, I can make a decent interception in lacrosse, and I make a good goal defence in netball, all because of my size.
