Lamar Odom Reportedly 'Opened His Eyes,' Is Breathing on His Own

https://www.yahoo.com/celebrity/lamar-odom-reportedly-opened-his-eyes-190732873.html

Updated at 12:49 p.m. PT: According to ESPN, Lamar is conscious and breathing on his own. A source says Odom no longer has a breathing tube and is using a breathing mask, but remains in critical condition.

———————————

After being unconscious since Tuesday, Oct. 13, the former NBA player opened his eyes at Sunrise Hospital in Las Vegas on Friday, Oct. 16. He has been in critical condition for nearly 72 hours.

Entertainment Tonight also reported the news. The site further claimed that Odom was able to communicate. According to ET, Odom was asked if he wanted to see his kids, and communicated “Yes.” It still remains unclear how he conveyed his response.

TMZ reports, however, that while there’s been evidence of some body movements, including eye opening, doctors say it may be involuntary.
