this guy has had so much tragedy in his life, it's almost a wonder he's made it this far. all the millions in the world can't come close to solving the wounds of his past. feel for him.

yeah... what a pathetic loser who couldn't handle a horrible upbringing, his father a heroin addict leaving the family when he was a kid, his mom dying at age 12, his 7 month old son dying in his crib, being witness to a 15 year old killed by the limo driver who's car he was in and then recently losing his two best friends who died within a week of each other. seriously... have some freaking compassion.

I'm thinking it was the cocaine he was apparently on that did him in a little more than herbal viagra.

I wouldn't be so sure.

Reports say he took “upwards of 10 herbal Viagras” in a 3-day period. According to this article, most pill packages suggest 1 pill every 72 hours. It also says one pill may have been enough depending on Lamar's blood pressure/Diabetes, etc. With his known poor diet of junk food and candy, he may be Diabetic for all we know.

‘Herbal Viagra’ taken in bulk by Lamar Odom before he was found unresponsive has alarmed health regulators for years

http://www.nydailynews.com/life-sty...om-alarms-health-regulators-article-1.2396593

The "herbal Viagra" former basketball star Lamar Odom was said to have taken before he was found unresponsive at a brothel Tuesday afternoon has drawn ire from health experts for years.

Odom, 35, had taken “upwards of 10 herbal Viagras” before staff at the Las Vegas-area Love Ranch discovered him motionless while vomiting and foaming at the mouth, brothel owner Dennis Hof told the Daily News. It’s not yet clear what caused Odom to lose consciousness.

FDA officials warned consumers about the presence of sildenafil in Reload in a 2013 advisory. Pictures of the product on the agency's website show that the packaging recommends only one pill for 72 hours. Yet even if Odom had taken the recommended dosage, he still may have been putting himself at risk.

Blood pressures in men who take medicines for diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol or heart disease can drop dangerously if they ingest the Sildenafil.

Not to mention most of his family me friends still in his life are people just using him for his money.

Being that Khloe and Lamar had previously signed off on their divorce papers, I was glad to read that she flew in his dad and kids. It should be their decision to make, not hers.

Cocaine, the Kardashians, a cat house and OD'ing on Viagra. Stupid decisions. Stupid results.

You need to recalibrate your BS meter. There's no way she'd have that authority in this situation.

might depend on if he has a will and ever changed it post divorce. but even if she was still in authority... the idea that he was "doing better and she was going to pull the plug" is the dumbest thing i've ever heard.
