(Reuters) - Former pro basketball player and reality TV star Lamar Odom was reportedly on life support for a second day on Thursday after falling unconscious at a Nevada brothel, as friends and family rushed to his bedside and asked fans to pray for his recovery. Odom, 35, the estranged husband of reality TV star Khloe Kardashian, on Tuesday was found unresponsive at Love Ranch, a legal brothel in Crystal, Nevada, by employees who said he had used cocaine and a sexual performance-enhancing supplement, according to the Nye County sheriff. Odom was rushed to the Sunrise Hospital & Medical Center in Las Vegas, which has declined to comment his condition, citing patient confidentiality.
