On Tuesday night, Lamar Odom was found unconscious in a VIP suite at the Love Ranch brothel in Nevada.
Doctors believe Odom overdosed on a dangerous cocktail of drugs, and it now looks as though he'll never regain consciousness.
The 35-year-old former NBA star has struggled with substance abuse issues throughout his life, but had reportedly sobered up in early 2015.
Unfortunately, several events seem to have triggered a relapse in the past few months.
Over the summer, two of Lamar's friends died of overdoses within a few weeks of one another.
Estranged from his wife and without a support network, Lamar fell back into using.
To make matters worse, Odom was reportedly tormented by being forced to see Khloe Kardashian enjoy the single life (and the attention of new boyfriends) on reality TV and social media.
In fact, those who were with Lamar in his final days say Odom's latest (possibly fatal) relapse was triggered by watching Keeping Up With the Kardashians on Sunday night.
"He was all freaked out about Khloé, fixated on her," a source tells The Daily Mail.
"He was showing the girls photos of them together and wanted to pour his heart out. He wasn't there just for sex; he needed a shoulder to cry on, companionship. He seemed lost."
The insider adds that Lamar was reduced to tears when talking about Khloe, and complained that he felt his "life was a mess with no direction."
Doctors say they're their skeptical about Lamar's chances of ever emerging from his coma, but family and friends remain hopeful.
We'll keep you updated on his condition as more information becomes available.
