Jamie Sangouthai has died after an apparent heroin overdose. Lamar Odom’s best friend, who was well-known by many Khloe And Lamar fans, died at a hospital in Los Angeles on Sunday. According to TMZ, Sangouthai was rushed to the hospital after someone called 911.

Jamie and Lamar had been friends since high school. According to E! News, Jamie was in Khloe and Lamar’s wedding back in 2009. Khloe was also very close to Jamie, at least a few years ago, and is heartbroken over the tragic news.

Jamie Sangouthai struggled with addiction issues for an unknown amount of time. It’s unclear whether or not he and Lamar Odom were still close, or if the two had been hanging out together recently. The 37-year-old was previously blamed for getting Lamar back into drugs a couple of years ago.

There have been several rumors about Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom getting back together. As previously reported by the Inquisitr, sources say that Lamar has been trying to get back together with his ex-wife, and that the two aren’t going through with their divorce because they have some unfinished business to deal with. If any of this is true, or if Khloe and Lamar are on speaking terms, one can only imagine that they are leaning on each other during this difficult time.

If the two haven’t been talking, it’s possible that Jamie Sangouthai’s death could bring them back to each other. Fans have been tweeting their condolences, many completely shocked that Jamie has passed away.
