Lamar was discovered unconscious in a VIP room at Dennis Hof’s Love Ranch South, a brothel that specialises in “classy escorts and courtesans”.
A woman found him unresponsive and called for her manager, who rang 911 when he saw “mucus-type liquid coming out of his nose and mouth”.
Dennis has confirmed the story on Twitter, writing:
According to TMZ, originally Lamar was to be air-lifted to a local hospital, but plans had to be changed when they realised his 6’10” body was too big for the helicopter.
He was eventually transferred by road ambulance and remains in a critical condition.

What is herbal viagra?
Herbal Viagra is sold as a treatment for erectile dysfunction – but uses natural ingredients instead of medicine.
There’s no scientific proof that herbal Viagra does anything to improve erections, and that means there are no official checks on their use, too.
Experts warn against taking too many as they can have nasty side effects, like widening the blood vessels, which leads to decreased blood pressure.
As many herbal versions of Viagra have never been clinically tested, they might also lead to dangerous side effects when mixed with other medication.
