New details surrounding Lamar Odom‘s medical emergency have been revealed.
E! News has learned that the former NBA star, who is currently hospitalized after he became unconscious in Nevada, was staying at a house that is attached to Dennis Hoff’s Love Ranch South in the town of Crystal (where celebrities stay when they visit the brothel), nearly 20 miles north of Pahrump.
Dennis Hoff, owner of the Bunny Love Ranch, tells E! News, “We picked him up at his home in Vegas in a gated community. He was in a great mood and having fun with the girls. We don’t think he was doing drugs because he slept every night. He woke up in a great mood.”

Hoff added, “He got calls on Sunday that kind of bummed him out. Besides that, he was in great state of mind. He was eating good. My girls were cooking for him,” and noted that the girls “gave him a bottle of Cognac on Saturday and there is a third of a bottle left.”
A source tells us that Odom was with a girl in the early morning hours on Tuesday. Around 6 a.m., the woman with Lamar touched him to tell him that she was leaving and he acknowledged her before going back to sleep.
At approximately 3:15 p.m., two of the girls found Lamar unconscious. E! News learned that he was taking herbal Viagra during his stay at the ranch. The insider adds that there were no illicit drugs in the room.
“An ambulance from Pahrump Valley Fire and Rescue Service arrived at 3:34 pm and the patient, identified as Lamar Odom was stabilized and transported to Desert View Hospital arriving at 4:16 p.m.,” Nye County Sheriff’s Sharon Wehrly tells E! News in a statement.
“After being treated by the physicians, arrangements were made to transport him by Mercy Air helicopter. However, Mr. Odom was unable to be transported by air due to his stature. He was immediately transported by Pahrump Valley Fire and Rescue Ambulance to Sunrise Hospital in Las Vegas, Nevada for further treatment.”
E! News has learned that he has not yet regained consciousness and the prognosis does not look good for Odom. A source told E! News late Tuesday evening that Odom is breathing only with machine assistance. (TMZ was the first to report the story.)
Someone claiming to be his manager has called after the news broke and shared that someone was going to pick up his belongings. Odom had a backpack with him, a few phones and personal items. The items have since been picked up.
The news of Lamar being found unconscious in a brothel in Nevada “isn’t shocking,” a Kardashian family source tells E! News, “but it is sad.” Our insider explains that “Khloé Kardashian had cut off contact with Lamar in the summer and she has been worried about Lamar for a very long time.”
