Word is that he is clinically brain dead. That's the legal definition of dead. But the body can be kept functioning for a while when hooked up to machines. Don't know what the purpose of that is. From personal experience I know that families have a hard time with that decision.

That said, if anyone is interested, here is a link to check out the two prostitutes he was visiting in NV. Mid way down the article is a 20 page slide show of Cherry Rider and Monica Monroe. Just for those types who say "Pics please!" Cherry Rider looks like she has a lot of mileage on her. For $75K you would have thought he'd have bought time with prettier looking ladies. Then again drugs will do that to you. Or maybe he liked them for their personalities.

I honestly feel bad for the Kardashian, seriously she was all but divorced only still married because the Judge hadn't finished some paperwork. Now its her job to deal with this. Even if she does everything his family wants she'll still get blamed for doing the wrong thing. She has ample money so his estate probably isn't worth it to her.
This is honestly the only time I have felt sad for a Kardashian.

I don't really feel that bad for this guy because he did it to himself. :/

What he did was incredibly stupid and the whole "Yea bro let me pop like 10 of these pills and get super messed up" culture really irks me.

Even without the OD his days were numbered as a cocaine addict. It will blow your heart out in two years or so. People who can't gauge consequences really irk me as they try and pull others over the cliff with them. He needed tough love years ago, not sympathy.

I can't really blame him though. His life has been pretty tough..

His father was a heroin addict, his mother raised him as a single parent and died of colon cancer when he was 12.

After his mother died his grandma raised him, and she died in 2003.

In 2006 Lamar lost his infant son to SIDS.

In 2011 his cousin is shot in the back of the head, the very next day, on the way to his cousin's funeral, Lamar is in the back of an SUV that hits and kills a 15 year old boy.

June 14th, 2015 his best friend (whom he had known since childhood) Jamie dies.

June 20th, 2015 Lamar and Jamie's friend Bobby Heyward dies.

Not counting the extended family that had passed away during this time..

According to people who watch the show, she still loved him deeply and still called and talked to him a lot to the behest of her sisters. The divorce came after his pretty much meltdown after 2011.

I guess I feel slightly bad for him now :p. He did good all things considered. Such a shame though.

Then we have reports of people claiming they fleeced him.


Lamar Odom's people and his family believe the brothel where he stayed grossly overcharged him and pilfered his cash.
As we reported, the Love Ranch charged Lamar $75,000 for his 3-day stay and charged it to his credit card. We're told one of Lamar's business people and someone from the Kardashian camp asked Ranch owner Dennis Hof for a full accounting, suspecting they fleeced him.
Ranch owner Dennis Hof tells TMZ, Lamar paid for 2 women to be with him 24/7, and it adds up.
Lamar's people and the Kardashians are also suspicious because Lamar's personal effects were returned to his bodyguard with no cash ... not a single dollar. We're told the bodyguard thinks money was taken from the backpack, because he says Lamar always carried large sums of cash.
Hof insists nothing was taken from Lamar's personal belongings.

1k/hr does not seem unreasonable for 2 pros.

From one of the links earlier:

Employees reportedly found Odom unconscious

Hof said Odom arrived alone Saturday and "spent time socializing with some of my girls," but wasn't seen taking any illegal drugs. "He was polite and reserved, and he told multiple employees that he was there to get some privacy and spend some time relaxing," Hof's statement said.

"He largely kept to himself, and at no time did he engage in any drug use in the presence of anyone in the house," the owner said, despite previous reports. "He did drink alcohol from our bar, and was taking some herbal sexual enhancement capsules. At his request, he spent Monday evening alone in his suite," the statement continued.

Ranch owner Dennis Hof tells TMZ, Lamar paid for 2 women to be with him 24/7, and it adds up.

So... which is it Mr Hof? 24/7 for the bill but no one saw him take what sounds like a metric ton of drugs and "found him unconscious".

In another article, it stated "24/7 on call". I mean the client wants what the client wants, and if he wants to be left alone you leave him the fuck alone.

more news slips out, regarding him being found face down and a dildo up his ass.

Tip, Do hookers and coke in moderation.

Most people might want to skip the anal dildos too. Quite revealing that you don't seem to feel that's a problem.

Mr. Hof is a world class scumbag. Getting insanely rich off of the backs of women. Despicable.

From things I have read about Khloe I suspect she is made of some pretty strong stuff. Her marriage collapsing under the weight of Lamar's problems must have been agony for her. Kudo's to her for flying his kids and his ex to Vegas to be at his bedside.

Before you make that statement remember many of these women would be working at WalMart. I saw an HBO show on the cat house. I think about half of the girls buy a house (with cash so paid in full) within 5(?) years of working there. He definitely shares the wealth.

Yup. And purbeast, how did you know he had kids? Get out of the house more. Sunlight is good, TMZ bad. I don't follow NBA players' personal lives like a stupid groupie.

Yet you follow NFL players' personal lives like a stupid groupie...But you're probably just lying here about NBA players rather than own up that you didn't understand a simple concept.
