Lamar Odom used cocaine, up to 10 sexual performance supplements before hospitalization


PAHRUMP, Nev. - Lamar Odom took cocaine and as many as 10 sexual-performance supplements leading up to his hospitalization in Las Vegas, according to a dramatic 911 call released Wednesday by the Pahrump Sheriff's Department.

Odom, the former NBA player and husband of reality television star Khloe Kardashian, was rushed to a medical facility after being found unresponsive by staff at a brothel known as the Love Ranch, in Crystal, Nev., around 70 miles from Las Vegas.

Sheriff Sharon Wehrly said two employees of the Love Ranch had stated Odom was unresponsive when they called 911 on Tuesday afternoon at 3:15 p.m. and informed dispatch of his drug use.

"They confirmed his usage on Saturday but were unsure if it had continued throughout the weekend," Sheriff Werhly said. "They also informed dispatch that he had used up to 10 tabs of sexual performance supplements."

One of the callers, Richard Hunter, the media director for the establishment, said on the 911 call that light red fluid and then white matter was oozing out of Odom's nose as he awaited the arrival of medical staff.

Police understand that the supplements were legal and were obtained from the Love Ranch.

The sheriff's department were unable to provide further information on Odom's condition but revealed contact has been made with one member of the Kardashian family, and that the person was "understandably distraught."

Khloé Kardashian has dropped everything and flown to be at Odom's bedside.

Khloé has not posted any news related to his condition on her social media accounts, however.
