Odom's celebrity status
grew considerably when his whirlwind engagement to Khloe Kardashian and lavish
wedding ceremony were filmed for a reality TV show in 2009.
Lamar Odom, the ex-husband
of Khloe Kardashian, has been taken to hospital after being found unconscious
at a brothel in Nevada.
The former NBA star
suffered a "medical emergency" at the Love Ranch in Crystal, a town
about 70 miles outside of Las Vegas, but first responders stabilised him at the
scene.
An air ambulance was
despatched to take him to hospital, but the 6ft 10in athlete was too tall to
fit inside the helicopter.
Instead, an ambulance took
the 35-year-old by road to the Desert View Hospital in nearby Pahrump.
Two women had found Odom
unconscious in a VIP suite on Tuesday afternoon, the LA Times reported, and
when they turned him over, "terrible stuff" came out of his nose and
mouth.
His friend, Dennis Hof,
said the former athlete had drunk some cognac and taken herbal viagra since
arriving at the brothel, but was unaware of whether Odom had used any other
drugs.
The father-of-two had
reportedly been at the brothel for several days, and no further details about
his current condition, or what caused the medical emergency, are known.
