According to sources, Odom was “partying with the girls for days” at Dennis Hof’s Love Ranch and taking a herbal substitute for Viagra, when he was found unconscious in his VIP suites.
Odom was reportedly intubated at Pahrump hospital – an indication that he couldn’t breathe on his own – and has been airlifted to Sunrise Hospital, Las Vegas, for treatment.
TMZ has quoted the source as saying: “It’s not good.”
More on this story as it develops.
