Lamar Odom remains unconscious and hospitalized for what is now being treated as a drug overdose. Odom has been known to have a substance abuse problem, which is what led to his divorce from reality star Khloé Kardashian.
Odom’s overdose might not be the only problems doctors are dealing with as they fight for his life. The 6-foot-10 former Laker possibly suffered a cocaine-induced stroke.
“He was doing crack cocaine all weekend and he choked on his mucus,” sources say. “They’re now having to fix all the damage it has done.”
Odom likely suffered brain damage and it’s unclear whether the two-time NBA champion will be able to pull through.
Over the last two months Odom lost two close friends to drug-related deaths, at which point Khloé Kardashian voiced her concern for her ex-husband and his drug abuse. The Kardashian clan has been by Odom’s bedside ever since the word got out he was hospitalized, while Kendall Jenner tweeted a heartfelt message, saying “please don’t go”.
