With Untold: The Death & Life of Lamar Odom now landing on Netflix, a lot of attention is back on Lamar\u2019s life off the basketball court, too, and some of the most heartbreaking parts of his story have nothing to do with fame, the NBA or even the Kardashians<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The documentary revisits several deeply painful chapters from his life, including the devastating loss of his baby son, Jayden.<\/p>\n

Long before Lamar Odom became reality TV famous thanks to Khlo\u00e9 & Lamar and his headline-making marriage to Khlo\u00e9 Kardashian<\/a>, he was a dad.<\/p>\n

Lamar shared son Jayden with his former partner, Liza Morales, and in 2006, their baby boy died at just six months old.<\/p>\n

Jayden passed away from sudden infant death syndrome, or SIDS, a tragedy that both Lamar and Liza have spoken about.<\/p>\n

He died on June 28, 2006, while sleeping in his crib in New York.<\/p>\n

The loss was, by every account, life-altering. In the new Netflix Untold documentary, Liza explains that Jayden\u2019s death changed both of them forever, while also showing how differently they processed what happened.<\/p>\n

She turned to therapy and faith, while Lamar\u2019s grief became tied up with the emotional spiral that followed in other areas of his life.<\/p>\n

The documentary places Jayden\u2019s death among the major personal traumas that marked Lamar\u2019s life, alongside the loss of his mother and his later struggles with addiction.<\/p>\n

During Untold: The Death & Life of Lamar Odom, Lamar said: “When you get the death certificate, it just says not undisclosed, not undescribed, they give you an un-word that doesn’t really answer any questions.”<\/p>\n

“I didn’t really cry too much when he passed away. To think about the night he passed away, I was out all night partying with my man. And the baby just looked like he’s asleep. No scars, no hemmorages, no nothing,” he added.<\/p>\n
