Lamar Odom has opened up about his struggle to deal with the death of a teenage boy following a collision with his chauffeur-driven SUV last month.The basketball player and husband of reality TV star Khloe Kardashian says he thought he was 'breaking down mentally' and admits he may need to see a psychologist to help him process what happened.
The tragedy came just a day after the 31-year-old attended the funeral of his 24-year-old cousin, who had been shot.
'Death always seem to be around me,' Odom, 31, told the Los Angeles Times.
Odom was in the back of a chauffeur-driven car while on his way to Queens where he grew up.
That's when the vehicle hit a motorcycle, which then hit and killed 15-year-old Awsaf Alvi Islam, who was riding a bike.
Odom says the car he was in was making a left turn when: 'I hear a "ka-boom".' He says that a man doing 'wheelies had jumped in front of us.'
