Lamar Odom’s best friend, Jamie Sangouthai, who appeared on the NBA star’s E! show with then-wife Khloe Kardashian, Khloe & Lamar, has died at the age of 37.
Sangouthai died of an apparent heroin overdose on Sunday. He died at the hospital in Los Angeles after someone called 911 and rushed him to the hospital.
Kardashian took to Twitter that same day to confirm the news, writing with a broken heart emoji, “when does it stop? RIP Jamie Sangouthai.”
She also posted a photo of a cartoon face on Instagram and wrote, “Life doesn't get easier but I promise you that life will make you stronger.”
It was rumored that Sangouthai, who has known Odom since high school, influenced Odom’s crack addiction about two years ago, around the time Kardashian left him, TMZ reports.
Kardashian’s best friend, Malika Haqq, also posted on social media, “Thru good and bad times life shows us every spirit matters and leaves a print on the hearts of others after they have passed. RIP Jamie Sangouthai #GodHelpUsAll."
