The former NBA star Lamar Odom was taken to hospital after being found unresponsive at a Nevada brothel, law enforcement officials said. | |
Odom, 35, the ex-husband of reality television personality Khloe Kardashian, suffered a “medical emergency” at the Love Ranch in Crystal, Nevada, about 80 miles (50km) north-west of Las Vegas, according to the Nye county sheriff’s office. | |
Odom was stabilized at the scene and was prepared to be airlifted to a Las Vegas area hospital but his “stature” made it impossible to transport him by helicopter, the release said. Odom, whose career in the NBA included seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks, stands 6ft 10in (208cm). | |
The sheriff’s office said an investigation was being conducted and gave no further details about Odom’s condition or what caused the emergency. | |
Odom was being treated at the the Sunrise Hospital in Las Vegas. | |
The celebrity website TMZ reported that Odom had been at the brothel for days and a woman there found him unconscious in his VIP suite. | |
Odom played 14 seasons in the NBA. Kardashian, a reality TV star and a younger sister of the better-known celebrity Kim Kardashian, filed from divorce from the basketball star in 2013 after four years of marriage. |
