Former NBA star Lamar Odom is fighting for his life after he was reportedly found unconscious at a Nevada brothel, called Love Ranch, on Tuesday. His ex-wife, Khloe Kardashian, and other members of her family are reportedly rushing to see him at the hospital.

TMZ broke the news that the troubled former NBA player and former reality star had been found unconscious by an unidentified woman in his rented room at the Love Ranch South, which is located in Pahrump, Nevada.

He was reportedly partying with women at the brothel since Saturday, and was reportedly taking a "herbal substitute for Viagra.” After he was found unconscious, a 911 call was placed and paramedics attended to him. He was treated in a local hospital after a mucous-like substance was found coming out of his nose and mouth. It is reported that he was intubated and unable to breathe on his own.

Attempts to airlift him have failed due to his large frame, so he was transported via an ambulance to a Las Vegas Hospital. Ex-wife Khloe, her sister Kim Kardashian and their mother Kris Jenner are reportedly on the way to the hospital.

Lamar has been on a downward spiral in the past three years, which led to the failure of his marriage to Khloe. After reports of cheating and substance abuse, she filed for divorce in December 2013.

The papers were finally signed in July this year and Lamar has since been very vocal about still wanting to be married to Khloe. Following an incident back in August, when he was accused of ambushing her on the street, Lamar said that his life has been destroyed since their breakup.

Khloe’s sister, Kim, has been very vocal about how much she dislikes Khloe’s constant contact with her ex. In a recent episode of “Keeping Up With the Kardashians,” the sisters had an argument after Kim called out Khloe for talking to Lamar. Meanwhile, Khloe insists on checking up on her ex, saying that she fears for his safety and well-being after the death of his best friend, Jamie Sangouthai.

The latest update by TMZ states that Lamar is still unconscious and in a critical condition.
