Lamar Odom Tested Positive For Cocaine, Kidneys Damaged

When he had been found unconscious at a Nevada brothel, Lamar Odom was suspected of having "snorted cocaine". There was some grisly white stuff in his mouth and nose, and everyone at the brothel said that he did have a habit of 'snorting' the drug.

The latest witness is a blood test and a report, which confirms that he had been taking cocaine, according to HNGN.

As expected, the results of his blood tests in the Las Vegas hospital showed that he had consumed the drug, according to TMZ. The test results were seen and commented upon by Sheriff Sharon Wehrly, who explained that any cocaine in his system might lead him to get prosecuted.

If he is prosecuted, he most likely won't face any duration in prison. While cocaine can send anyone for a one to four-year imprisonment in Nevada, being a first-time offender would force him to finish his drug education course until charges against him are dismissed.

While the drug overdose damaged his body, with the possibility that be may never fully get back into shape, medical treatment is also trying to get him back.

The maximum damage has been on his kidneys, which has put him on dialysis. Still, he "definitely" requires a kidney transplant, a source told Us Weekly. 

"He can say a few words. He's doing a tiny bit better," the source added. "But he has a very long road back to full recovery - if that."

Other medical problems include a dozen strokes through his coma, leading to some serious brain damage that is "of the most concern," another source said. "The doctors don't know the extent of all the damage yet. There are still a lot of tests that need to be done. He'll get more of his motor skills back gradually, but cognitively, he's not where he used to be."

The hope for Lamar is the impending rehabilitation that he faces. "Obviously there is a lot of attention about all this but the thing to remember is that there is a long road ahead to rehabilitation," Odom's former college coach Jim Harrick told USA Today. "This is serious stuff. It could be six months or more for rehab and all that. We don't know what state his kidneys and lungs are going to be in."
