Ex-NBA star Lamar Odom found unconscious at Las Vegas brothel

Former NBA star Lamar Odom is rushed to hospital after being found unconscious and "foaming" at the mouth at a brothel in Las Vegas.

Former NBA player Lamar Odom has been hospitalised after being found unconscious at a brothel in Las Vegas.

The 35-year-old, who has not played in the NBA since 2013, was allegedly found "foaming" at the mouth at the Love Ranch in Nevada.

According to NBC News, the brothel's owner Dennis Hof claimed that the 6ft 8in basketball player had taken "herbal viagra" and no illegal drugs were found in the room.

"We called 911 and the 911 told my staff what to do - turn him over on his left side," Hof is quoted as saying. "There was this terrible foaming stuff coming out of him. He was throwing up, a little bit of blood."

Local reports have claimed that Odom, who was formerly married to Keeping Up With The Kardashians reality TV star Khloe Kardashian, is fighting for his life in hospital.

The two-time Los Angeles Lakers NBA champion has made headlines over the years about the breakdown of his marriage, which is said to have crumbled due to reports of cheating and drug use.
