Former NBA star Lamar Odom will not face criminal charges for drug overdose at a Nevada brothel last October that left him hospitalized for months, authorities said Monday. "Although the evidence showed Mr. Odom had metabolized cocaine in his
system," the Nye County District Attorney said in a statement, "he was
not found in the possession of cocaine and it is unlikely it could [be]
established beyond a reasonable doubt he actually ingested, or was
impaired by, the drug during the time he was within the jurisdiction of
Nye County."
Odom, 36, was found unconscious on October 13 at Love Ranch, a legal brothel outside Carson City. Sources told NBC News that he suffered brain damage and a stroke, and was using a ventilator.
