Lamar Odom's Best Friend, Jamie Sangouthai Dies at 37
“Life doesn’t get easier but I promise you that life will make you stronger,"
Khloe Kardashian posted this sad message along with a photo of a woman crying on her Instagram page yesterday after finding out that friend, Jamie Sangouthai, 37 had died.
Although his cause of death is unclear, there is speculation that Sangouthai died of an apparent heroin overdose after being rushed to an L.A. hospital. This news doesn't come as a surprise as there has been speculation that Sangouthai and Lamar Odom were using drugs after a video of the two surfaced , where they appeared to be under the influence.
If you guys have been "keeping up with the Kardashians", then you're probably familiar with one of the show's many spinoffs, including Khloe & Lamar. The show which brought us into the life of the now separated Khloe and Lamar Odom, took us though the day-in-the -life of the hilariously funny married couple. The show also introduced us to Lamar Odom's family and friends, including his best friend Jamie Sangouthai. Judging from the show, the two were pretty close having been childhood friends, coming from the same neighborhood in Queens, NY. Sangouthai was also pretty close with Khloe and her bestfriend Malika Haqq, who too is taking the death hard. On her Instagram page, Malika posted a group photo of herself, Jamie, Khloe and Lamar with the caption that read:
"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"
