Former NBA power forward Lamar Odom reveals he experienced “the afterlife” after his 2015 overdose at a Nevada brothel, in new Netflix documentary premiering this month.

In the film’s trailer, released on Tuesday, Odom stated that “the afterlife is not what people make it out to be,” and disclosed he suffered 12 strokes and six heart attacks during the incident, People reported.

Odom overdosed on cocaine and other drugs in October 2015, after being found unresponsive at the Love Ranch brothel in Nevada, The Guardian reported.

The two-time NBA champion’s story is featured in “Untold: The Death and Life of Lamar Odom,” which premieres March 31 as part of Netflix’s documentary series exploring four gripping sports stories that extend beyond the playing field, Netflix Tudum reported.

Odom’s ex-wife Khloé Kardashian appears in the documentary and reveals she “felt such a responsibility to cover this up and protect him” during their marriage, recalling how he “would escape rehab and go on a drug bender and no one could find him,” Entertainment Weekly reported.

During his nearly 15-year NBA career, Odom played for the Los Angeles Clippers, Los Angeles Lakers, Dallas Mavericks, and Miami Heat, according to ESPN.

The documentary features revelations from Odom about his cocaine addiction, with the former Lakers star admitting “that first hit of cocaine was amazing” but acknowledging “you unlock a vault that you can’t really control,” Netflix Tudum reported.

The film is directed by Ryan Duffy and also includes interviews with the former manager of the Love Ranch brothel where Odom overdosed, as well as Odom’s former Lakers teammate Metta Sandiford-Artest, who recalls Odom “was living a rock star lifestyle,” Entertainment Weekly reported.

Odom’s appearance in the documentary comes weeks after his January 2026 arrest for alleged DUI in Las Vegas, following which he checked into rehab for marijuana addiction out of concern it could lead to a relapse into harder drugs, People reported.
