Former NBA star Lamar Odom will not face drugs charges after being found unconscious at a Nevada brothel, prosecutors have said.
Authorities in Nye County had been considering an unlawful use of cocaine charge as part of their investigation into Odom's suspected overdose in October.
District Attorney Angela Bello said on Monday that the evidence did not prove that Odom used the drug during his three days in the county.
She said cocaine discovered in Odom's system had metabolised, making it difficult to determine when he used it.
The estranged husband of Khloe Kardashian was rushed to a Las Vegas hospital on 13 October after being found unresponsive in his room at the Love Ranch.
Staff said they saw Odom drink alcohol and take supplements sold as "herbal Viagra".
A family spokeswoman said Odom was transferred from a Los Angeles hospital to a private facility last week.
Alvina Alston said the ex-basketball player's family is proud of his "miraculous and continued improvement".
The family said he was undergoing therapy, was more responsive and had increased use of speech.
It was reported that Odom was having trouble speaking after suffering a stroke and is learning how to walk again.
