Lamar Odom had used cocaine and sexual performance enhancers prior to his collapse at a Nevada brothel, police have confirmed.
Speaking to media, a spokesman for the Nye County Sheriff’s Office said that Lamar was found unconscious but breathing in the VIP suites of Dennis Hof’s Love Ranch, with blood coming from his nose and mouth, along with a white substance, at 3:34pm on October 13.
When asked if Lamar had been found clothed or “in an act”, a second spokesman paused before replying: “I don’t feel comfortable disclosing that information right now.”
One of three 911 calls made from the ranch – which came from employee Mitsy Jones, and media director Richard Hunter – and released by police said that Lamar had taken 10 tabs of the sexual performance enhancers over the three day period prior.

Police are investigating whether the brothel provided Lamar with the performance enhancing drugs. It is possible, if it is found guilty of any wrong-doing, that it will lose its license.
Samples of Lamar’s blood have been taken by police and are awaiting submission to the police lab for processing, where it will be determined if Lamar suffered a drug overdose. They are also investigating whether this may have been a suicide attempt.
Right now, Lamar is fighting for his life at Pahrump hospital, where his technically-not-yet-ex wife Khloé Kardashian is making medical decisions for him. If Lamar is found to be brain dead – as some reports are currently circulating – this may include turning off his life support.
“When they took him to the Pahrump hospital, the people there told us, ‘He doesn’t look good. He doesn’t look like he’ll make it, and if he does, he won’t be the same,’” brothel owner Dennis Hof is quoted as saying on CNN.
The police gave no updates on Lamar’s current medical condition, stating that “the hospital probably knows more than us.“
