Lamar Odom found unconscious at a brothel in Nevada

“He’s nearly not breathing”.

When ET spoke with brothel owner Dennis Hof, he did not think drugs were at play.

“Hunter said two women who had been with Odom earlier handed him a bottle of a legal herbal supplement that is sold at the brothel”. “The police looked through his things and they didn’t tell us they found anything”, Hof said. “He started throwing up a lot of bad stuff”.
