The professional basketball player was at Dennis Hof's Love Ranch South in Pahrump when the incident happened on Tuesday afternoon, days after he first arrived on Saturday.
He was discovered in his room unconscious by ranch workers Ryder Cherry and Monica Monroe who immediately called for a manager.
Hof said the turned the basketball player over and discovered liquid pouring out of his mouth and nose.
He was taken by ambulance to the Desert View Hospital hospital, where doctors intubated the basketball player but he did not regain consciousness.
The Nye County Sheriff's Department said he was then taken by another ambulance (Sunrise Hospital)in Las Vegas because he was too tall at 6'10" to be airlifted.
A female worker at the ranch last saw Odom at around 6am on Tuesday morning said Hof.
He had ordered a bottle of cognac when he arrived over the weekend but had not finished it when his body was discovered on Tuesday.
Hof said there were no signs that Odom had been doing drugs other than the herbal Viagra substitute.
'It’s terrible. You got people, the girls that found him, out here that are very upset,' said Hof.
'I hope he lives.'
Hof estimated that Odom had possibly taken 10 of the herbal Viagra substitutes and would not say if the athlete was a regular at the establishment.
