Following tragic news that Lamar Odom was was found unresponsive in a Las Vegas brothel, TMZ reports that he remains in critical condition with just a 50 percent chance of survival.
Doctors say that Lamar has endured "multiple medical problems" as a result of drug-related complications: in addition to a series of strokes and heart problems, four of Lamar's organs (including his kidneys) are failing.
The NBA star is surrounded by members of his family, including ex-wife Khloé Kardashian, her sister, Kim Kardashian, and their mother, Kris Jenner.
According to TMZ, Lamar's medical team cannot determine the "exact amount of brain damage" his overdose may have caused. Our hearts continue to be with him and his loved ones during this difficult time.
According to a report by TMZ, they confirmed that Khloe is still married to him and is now making all the decisions on his behalf.
Sources at the hospital tell us doctors are now saying Lamar has a 50/50 chance of surviving after enduring multiple medical problems ... the apparent result of complications from drug use.Our sources say doctors are saying 4 of Lamar's organs, including his kidneys, are failing. As we reported, he's had a series of strokes in the hospital and has heart problems as well.
The doctors are saying with each failing organ the chances of survival go down significantly.
We're also told doctors are having trouble determining the extent of any brain damage because the organ issues make it difficult to test and get an accurate reading on brain function.

Lamar Odom took 10 Reload pills over the course of 3 days before he fell into unconsciousness -- according to people at the brothel -- and the FDA says the pills are so dangerous they've advised consumers to throw them away IMMEDIATELY.
The FDA determined Reload contained sildenafil, the active ingredient in Viagra. The label does not reveal the presence of that ingredient, which is normally restricted to prescriptions monitored by a doctor.
The FDA says sildenafil can "lower blood pressure to dangerous levels."
The FDA sent a warning to consumers in 2013, saying, "Consumers should stop using this product immediately and throw it away."
The brothel sold Reload and Lamar got it when he arrived. The Sheriff seized the remaining inventory of Reload from the display case.
We tried to get in touch with the company that makes Reload, but it looks like it went out of business.
