Two-time NBA champ Lamar Odom, a star on the court and basic cable, had only a 50-50 chance of surviving after a three-day drug binge left the helpless hoopster in a coma.
The Queens kid who married a Kardashian remained unconscious Wednesday, a day after he was found facedown and nonresponsive inside a Nevada brothel, with a ventilator now keeping the 6-foot-10 player alive, officials said.
“Please don’t go,” read a terse and touching tweet sent Wednesday morning from Odom’s 19-year-old sister-in-law Kendall Jenner.
His daughter Destiny also tweeted her affection for her father.
“Soon I’ll be by your side and I’ll never let go,” wrote the devastated 17-year-old. “I love you daddy. Please don’t leave us.”
Lamar Odom had been using cocaine on Saturday, employees at the Nevada brothel where he was found unresponsive four days later told 911 dispatchers, Nye County Sheriff Sharon Wehrly told reporters Wednesday.
Investigators have obtained a blood sample from Odom, which will be submitted for testing to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police laboratory.
"At this point, the case is ongoing," Wehrly said.
On a 911 call played at a news conference, a woman says she also saw Odom take 10 herbal supplement tablets over three days.
Odom was found on Tuesday, the fourth day, lying in bed on his side, with a pinkish fluid coming from his mouth and nose, callers told 911 operators.
He was taken to a hospital in Las Vegas, about an hour's drive from Crystal.
Pahrump Valley Fire Rescue Chief Scott Lewis told reporters there were no incidents as Odom was driven from a hospital in Pahrump to Las Vegas.
