+1 but I'll add productive life with a focus on his family and spirituality. Neither brothel nor drugs will be the answer to his search to end the pain. |

As if we would expect the owner of a desert brothel to be an upstanding, kind, and caring person? |

There's also a genetic factor for depression, etc. that can cause worry for down the road. |

He deserves a happy life, just as everyone deserves a happy life. However, he has to WANT the happy life.... and make smart choices. So if he survives this incident and can return to a physically healthy state, he needs to start making the right decisions, as opposed to decisions for lots of drugs, booze, and brothels. |

+2. I hope this is what he needs to turn his life around. I want him to get clean, get back with Khloe and for Khloe to get rid of the cameras in that part of her life. Can't explain it especially since I don't care for the Kardashians, but there is something about Lamar that has me rooting for him.(Kanye too) |

Was he addicted to herbal Viagra? |

He's an athlete - married to a fame whore - whose stupidity nearly killed him (or did kill him). why all the outpouring of love? ridiculous Any GOOD father would know better. And if this genius does survive, his kids will never live this down. |

You people are horrifyingly naive about the nature of addiction. How can you not grasp that someone can be good, kind, loving AND ALSO have a terrible addiction that they cannot fight, or can sometimes, but not others, and that they do not actively choose to hurt their families, destroy their own lives, make horrible decisions and do embarrassing things but literally cannot help but do so when addiction takes over? Addiction can happen to anyone. Anyone. If it happened to your children, would you hope others would feel compassion, understanding, sympathy for them, or would you want people to say their life doesn't matter, if they die, it's their own fault? You're placing a paradigm of logic ("should know better") on something (addiction) that DOES NOT OPERATE in a logical manner. |

Agree with this. I've seen this personally with my father who had a smoking addiction, he couldn't quit until it took him. Exemplary human being, the most loving, caring , spiritually pure person I've ever seen. Early hardships make people take the wrong path.. It doesn't mean they are bad people. I believe Khloe, truly loves him and is the best person for him. Her divorcing him was tough love |

| It's like any addiction. If you really want to quit and have willpower you will do it. Most people "can't" quit because its easier not to, or they don't have a motivation that they value more than the urge. The only thing stopping them is themselves. And with hardcore drugs you consciously make that decision to get to the point of addiction in the first place. It's not like someone was spiking his food/drinks for years until he realized he can't live without it. I feel for people that are struggling to overcome an existing addiction as someone with a highly addictive personality myself, but it's a sickness that we put on ourselves and could have been easily avoided. At some point in your life, someone came up to you and offered you something that you knew was illegal/addictive/dangerous and you said yes. |

He did some serious damage to his internal organs so his life could be very different even if he does survive. If he has to go on dialysis or if his heart and/or liver were badly damaged he will have no choice but to make some fairly drastic lifestyle changes. Certainly his brothel days are almost certainly over. Guy is only 35. |

He was caught in a whorehouse with cocaine in his system! No, I feel no compassion for him. Fuck his life. That's his issue. But he's fucked up his kids b/c he was too goddamn selfish to think of anyone but himself. I'm logical. I don't put myself before my own kids. And if I did have some addiction, I'd take care of it before shoving it on a spouse or kids. |

He doesn't *have to* do anything. My sister has been on life support twice...both times we thought she had finally hit rock bottom. We were wrong. Being in a medically induced coma followed by a few weeks on a ventilator and another week in the hospital (yep, one full month in the hospital) was a swell detox, and she stayed clean for six months until life got "hard" again (hard ranges from a job loss or getting her period and having bad cramps...seriously). I hope he gets his life together and stays clean, but my experience is it's a 50-50 chance. I just hope Scott doesn't get any bright ideas and attempt an OD in an effort to get Kourtney back. |

Sorry but herbal viagra is not an "addiction". The guy brought this on himself. What an epitaph to leave for his kids - died high and with an artificial hard on, surrounded by prostitutes.
Sorry human being. I hope this is the wake-up call he needed. |

He did cocaine. He's addicted to crack cocaine. |
