Ex-Los Angeles Lakers forward Lamar Odom is now in critical condition after he was found unconscious at the Love Ranch in Crystal Nevada.

Reports claim that Odom checked in last Saturday and partied with some girls for days. It is believed that Odom took in a herbal substitute for Viagra at the time.

Odom's body was found lying face-down by a woman who went in to the VIP suite. It was there where the woman reportedly found Odom's unconscious body and started screaming.

The manager dialed 911 and turned Odom over. Mucus-type liquid was reportedly coming out of his nose and mouth.

An ambulance took Odom to the Pahrump hospital where tubes were placed on the former basketball player. This indicated that Odom had a hard time breathing on his own.

Dennis Hof, the owner of the Love Ranch, bared that Odom just came by to have a good time and relax. He said that when he saw Odom, the 35-year-old former NBA player was in good spirits.

"He just wanted to get away, have a good time and relax," Hof told the Associated Press.

The latest report from TMZ mentions that a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) done on Odom revealed that he had multiple strokes. There is no word for now on whether or not the strokes went as far as rendering brain damage on the former TV reality star.

Aside from that, Odom is reportedly undergoing dialysis for kidney failure for three to five hours. 

Among the ones who went to check in on Odom was his friend Kobe Bryant. Bryant was in Las Vegas at the time of the incident for a preseason game. Bryant left the MGM Arena early to rush and check in on Odom.

Aside from Bryant, other personalities who rushed to Las Vegas include estranged wife Khloe Kardashian, Kim Kardashian, and Kris Jenner.
