We spoke with Hof ... who tells us Tuesday afternoon, a woman went into Odom's room in the VIP suites and found him unconscious.

We're told the woman began screaming for the manager -- who called 911.

The manager rolled Lamar over on his side and saw "mucus-type liquid coming out of his nose and mouth."

An ambulance took Lamar to Pahrump hospital, where doctors intubated him ... an indication he could not breathe on his own.

We're told Lamar is being airlifted from the hospital to Las Vegas for more treatment.

Our sources tell us, "It's not good."

Such sad news. I always sensed something so vulnerable and sweet about Odom. God be with him.
 
Khloe, Kris, and Kim Kardashian on way to hospital, camera crew in tow no doubt.
 
Is Khloe still married to him?
 
I thought the divorce had been signed, but was yet to be finalised?
 
Prayers for Lamar. I hope he pulls through and is able to get the help he needs. He just seems so sad. I know next to nothing about the Kardashians, but I have many fond memories of watching him play with the Lakers.
 
TMZ update video, basically explaining how the story broke and a few more details, it sounds very bad.

This report mirrors the one in the Las Vegas Review Journal (local newspaper) in that it states that he was too tall to be airlifted to a Vegas hospital. So he went by regular ambulance. What I don't understand is why they took him to the farthest hospital from where he was at the time. Pahrump is directly west of Vegas but the road to Vegas veers south and when it get to Vegas, it's the southwest end of town. There are many hospitals closer than Sunrise Hospital which is on the east side.

Yes, a few news articles are now reporting about the shift from an airlift to an ambulance ride due to Lamar's size. Some commenters have speculated as to the reason, but that's all it is...just guessing.

Thank you for providing this additional information re distances, much appreciated.

It may be related to the level of care and appropriate specialty staff available at each hospital. In other words, he was transferred to a higher level of care.
 
RT @cnnbrk BREAKING NEWS: Las Vegas medical examiner reports that Lamar Odom has died of possible overdose. #news #sports #LamarOdom

ETA: I'm not sure if this is correct because I cannot find the original tweet.

TMZ has learned #LamarOdom is still alive, but he is breathing with the assistance of machines and remains in critical condition.

He wasn't driven there. He was transferred there from the original hospital they drove him to. Likely because he needed more care than the original hospital could provide.
 
I never trust Tmz. Is he dead or alive? Thanks in advance.

Both? As in alive like Bobbi Kristina was alive? Perhaps hospital is waiting for his next of kin? By that I mean his children, and Khloe I guess.

Khloe isn't next of kin, since they are divorced.
