On Saturday, Lamar checked into the Love Ranch, a brothel outside of Las Vegas. He was there partying with the girls until late Tuesday when he was found in his suite unconscious. The manager of the Love Ranch called for ambulance and told the 911 operator that, when he moved Lamar onto his side, he reportedly saw “mucus-type liquid coming out of his nose and mouth.” Another employee by the name of Misty also called 911 and she claimed that Lamar had blood and white stuff coming out of his nose.

Lamar reportedly became distressed on Sunday night when he learned of how he was being portrayed on Keeping Up with the Kardashians. In the episode, Kim chastised Khloe for being flirty with Lamar on the phone and in another clip Lamar called Khloe to let her know that his good friend Jamie had died. Khloe commented in the episode that she was worried that this might push Lamar out of control. In a different clip, Khloe heads to a club because she hears that Lamar is trying to get in. A source said that he remained upset until he was found unconscious.

Since news broke about Lamar’s situation, Khloe has been “inconsolable and heartbroken.” Upon hearing the news, she rushed to the hospital where he is being treated and has not left his side.

It’s being reported that Kim and Kris will be leaving the hospital today but Kourtney is on her way to support her sister.

The Kardashians reportedly think that this could be the end for Lamar. “They’re pretty sure this is goodbye, but they’re praying for a miracle,” a source told People. “They know that God has the power to heal him, but that’s really the last hope at this point. This is really bad.”

1. He and Khloe Are Still Legally Married

According to TMZ, Khloe and Lamar have signed the divorce papers, but the divorce hasn’t come through yet, so they are still legally married. Now she’s responsible for making medical decisions on his behalf because he is in a coma. “He never signed a living will, so Khloe is making decisions for him,” a source said. It’s “very stressful. She is lost.”
