Officials had order a medical helicopter to fly Odom to a hospital in Las Vegas Tuesday night. But that did not happen as he was too tall for the helicopter, The AP reported.

Odom arrived at the ranch on Saturday, NBC News reported.
The Love Ranch South owner said Odom was found unconscious by two women around 3 p.m. on Monday after they left him to sleep at 6 a.m. After alerting staff that Odom was unconscious, they called 911, who instructed staff to "roll him on his left side."
"A bunch of ugly stuff came out of him," said Hof.
Hof told multiple media outlets there were no signs of drugs but that Odom "was taking herbal viagra."
The 35-year-old former Los Angeles Lakers forward is known to have struggled with substance abuse in the past.
"He said he was just trying to get away from people so he could have some time to himself without the pressures of being who he is," Hof said.
The Nye County Sheriff's Office released this statement:
Members of the NBA community like Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade and Los Angeles Clippers shooting guard Paul Pierce have posted support for Odom on social media.
