Lamar Odom found unconscious at brothel, taken to hospital in critical condition

Former Laker and Clipper Lamar Odom was found unconscious in a Las Vegas-area brothel and taken to a hospital Tuesday afternoon, authorities said.

The Nye County Sheriff’s Department was called at about 3:15 p.m. to Love Ranch in Crystal, Nevada, about 70 miles outside of Las Vegas for a report of an unresponsive man needing an ambulance.

Odom was initially going to be transported to Sunrise Hospital in Las Vegas by helicopter but because of his height he could not be transported by air. Instead he was driven by ambulance to Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center.

According to TMZ, Odom is still in a coma and his heart is failing. He is having serious problems with his kidneys and lungs as well. He is breathing with the assistance of machines and remains in critical condition.
