Odom, 35, also lost good friend Jamie Sangouthai who died on June 14 aged 37 after acquiring 'a flesh-eating disease caused by dirty needles.'

Sangouthai died of 'necrotizing fasciitis - bacterial skin infection - and chronic intravenous narcotism, which is IV drug abuse,' a coroner's official told TMZ.



'#RIP To my big brother Jamie who always brought light into any room he walked into and laughter as well at all times J you will always be missed. Family for life. #BandOfBrothers #tbt,' Heyward wrote in the caption.
A source told Us Weekly that Odom was 'beside himself' upon learing of Hewyard's death as he was still close to him.
Heyward also was reportedly close to Odom's estranged wife Khloe Kardashian, 30, who reached out to Odom in the wake of Sangouthai's death.
