Former NBA star and Kardashian-by-marriage Lamar Odom was found unconscious at a Nevada brothel, authorities are reporting. The basketball star is currently in a Las Vegas hospital.

The Nye County Sheriff's Department was called at about 3:15 p.m. Tuesday to Love Ranch in Crystal, Nevada, about 70 miles outside of Las Vegas for a report of an unresponsive man needing an ambulance, Sheriff Sharon A. Wehrly said in a statement.

The 35-year-old was stabilized and taken to Desert View Hospital in nearby Pahrump, the statement said. Officials then tried to have him airlifted to Las Vegas, but the 6-foot-10-inch Odom was too tall for the helicopter that was available and he was driven by ambulance to Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center.

The owner of the Love Ranch said the brothel picked up Odom at a house in Las Vegas on Saturday. "He just wanted to get away, have a good time and relax," Dennis Hof told the Associated Press. 

Odom was "happy, he was sleeping every night," during his stay but hadn't been seen for a while as of Tuesday morning. When two women went to check on him, Odom was found face down and unconscious.

"Hof said Odom had been taking herbal Viagra and had drunk part of a bottle of cognac since arriving, but had no knowledge of his use of any other drugs."

Odom is still married to Khloe Kardashian, although Kardashian filed for divorce in 2013. The divorce has not been received final approval from a judge.
