Lamar Odom, the ex-husband of Khloe Kardashian, has been taken to hospital after being found unconscious at a brothel in Nevada.
The former NBA star suffered a "medical emergency" at the Love Ranch in Crystal, a town about 70 miles outside of Las Vegas, but first responders stabilised him at the scene.
An air ambulance was despatched to take him to hospital, but the 6ft 10in athlete was too tall to fit inside the helicopter.
Instead, an ambulance took the 35-year-old by road to the Desert View Hospital in nearby Pahrump.

Odom has violated the NBA's anti-drugs policies in the past
Two women had found Odom unconscious in a VIP suite on Tuesday afternoon, the LA Times reported, and when they turned him over, "terrible stuff" came out of his nose and mouth.
His friend, Dennis Hof, said the former athlete had drunk some cognac and taken herbal viagra since arriving at the brothel, but was unaware of whether Odom had used any other drugs.
The father-of-two had reportedly been at the brothel for several days, and no further details about his current condition, or what caused the medical emergency, are known.
