If you watched last night’s episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, you know the show finally dealt with the aftermath of the drug overdose that nearly claimed Lamar Odom’s life back in October.
What you might have missed, however, is a moment when Kris Jenner revealed that the situation may have been even more dire than we previously thought.
During one of the scenes that took place at Kim Kardashian’s 35th birthday party, Kris shocked the other guests when she quoted one of Lamar’s doctors as saying, “‘He came in here dead, so the fact that he’s alive is a miracle.’”
We already knew that Lamar suffered 12 strokes and was comatose by the time he arrived at the hospital, but many fans were shocked to learn that Odom may have been legally dead at one point.
Kris didn’t elaborate, and it’s possible that either she or the doctor may have exaggerated the severity of Lamar’s condition, but nonetheless, the scene served as a potent reminder of how close Odom came to ever regaining consciousness.
As the episode revealed, the entire Kardashian-Jenner clan took a two-week hiatus from filming after Lamar’s near-death experience, but the upcoming episodes will no doubt feature many painful details about his ongoing recovery process.
Watch Keeping Up With the Kardashians online to see Lamar in happier times.
