Basketball star Lamar Odom's condition is not getting any better days after he was found unconscious at Dennis Hof's Love Ranch South in Pahrump, Nevada, according to sources.

His four vital organs were still failing as of Thursday, reports aceshowbiz.com.

As Odom, who is married to Khloe Kardashian, showed "absolutely no improvement" two days after he was admitted to the hospital, tmz.com quoted a source as saying that "he's in dire straits".

Multiple sources familiar with his treatment explained that even if he survived, he would hardly have a chance of leading a normal life.

Odom's apparent consumption of cocaine and Reload pills, herbal substitute for viagra, at the Nevada brothel was allegedly the main cause of his bad condition.

 

The star was "entirely unresponsive" as of Thursday.

He wasn't breathing on his own and doctors believed that there was a significant reduction in his brain's function.

In the meantime, the Jenner-Kardashian family reportedly flew in some specialists from here to consult with Las Vegas doctors to help Odom's treatment.

The former "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star was found unconscious with "mucus-type liquid coming out of his nose and mouth" on Tuesday.

Doctors claimed to have found "cocaine and opiates" in his system.
