In October of 2013, Odom was hospitalized and placed into an induced coma for more than two weeks after he was found unconscious at a legal brothel in Nevada. He suffered kidney failure, 12 strokes, and two heart-attacks during the incident.
However, he had already been having drug-related problems for years prior to his near-death experience.
In his soon to be released memoir, “Darkness to Light,” Odom admits to having used a fake penis to pass a drug test in order to make the 2004 Olympic team for Team USA in Athens, Greece.
