LAMAR BROTHEL COMA
Hours before tragedy
Lamar Odom lies passed out in a brothel suite in a photo taken by a prostitute not long before he was rushed in a coma to a hospital.
The first glimpse inside Lamar Odom’s pathetic weekend of debauchery at a Nevada brothel was provided Monday in photos showing the former NBA star passed out in a bed shortly before an overdose put him into a coma.
The pictures, snapped by a hooker, show Odom on Monday Oct. 12 at the Love Ranch, where he went on a dayslong sex, drugs and drinking binge.
In one shot, Odom — husband of Khloé Kardashian — is sprawled across a kingsize bed with his eyes barely opened in the VIP sex suite.
In another, the barefooted twotime NBA champion is slumped over holding a bottle of water. Visible in that photo is a woman’s bare legs.
The pictures were taken some 18 hours before Odom’s nearfatal overdose, which left him foaming from the mouth, according to the Daily Mail Online.
Sex toys, candles, and lubricant can be seen on the dresser in one of the photos.
Love Ranch sources said one of the two hookers who romped with Odom at private party sessions took the photograpgs.
Odom ran up a $75,000 tab during his roundtheclock, threeday brothel bender of drugs and sex that left him in a fourday coma. He reportedly had “virtually every drug imaginable” in his system — and track marks on one arm — when he was brought to a hospital.
Odom, 35, has been hospitalized in the Intensive Care Unit of the Sunrise Hospital in Las Vegas since Oct. 13, when sex workers Monica Monroe and Ryder Cherry found him unconscious at the brothel in Crystal, Nev. He arrived at the brothel on Oct. 10.
“When the first photo was taken early Monday evening, you can see he was sitting up and looked OK,” a source told the Daily Mail. “That was right before [the sex workers] left to get food at Walmart. [Odom] wanted watermelon and a bunch more food, including ice cream. We don’t know what else they bought.”
The source said that the two girls returned with the food, but Odom was already asleep.
“It’s hard to tell if had taken anything at that point,” the source said.
“He did take naps all the time throughout his stay.”
Odom was recovering Monday from the lifethreatening booze and hooker binge as he told estranged wife Khloé “I love you.”
The Kardashian sister, who is still legally married to Odom despite divorce papers being filed, has been at his bedside since he has been hospitalized.
