Reports: Lamar Odom being treated for drug overdose and is on life support, but he is 'recovering'
Lamar Odom, the former NBA player and ex-husband of reality star Khloe Kardashian, is reportedly being treated for a drug overdose after being found unconscious at a brothel in Nevada. Sources inside Sunrise Hospital in Las Vegas told E! Online that "virtually every drug imaginable" was found in Odom's system and that he also possibly suffered from a stroke.
From E! Online:
[Odom] appears to have suffered an "ischemic stroke," which is caused by a blood clot preventing blood flow to the brain. This type of stroke is often associated with a cocaine overdose, among other drugs.
TMZ earlier reported that a source at the brothel described Odom as "popping eight to 10 herbal viagras at a time" while he was there.
Sources also said this type of stroke may cause long-term brain damage. According to ESPN, Odom is still alive, but the next 48 hours will be crucial.
