Tiger King’s Jeff Lowe has suffered a stroke, with the star getting airlifted to hospital after a suspected poisoning.
The reality star was left unresponsive in an Oklahoma casino.
Jeff’s wife, Lauren Lowe, alleges someone slipped something in his drink, which ultimately led to his life being in danger.
Speaking publicly to TMZ, Lauren said Jeff was not breathing when she discovered him on March 18 at approximately 3am at WinStar World Casino where they were staying.
Lauren said she called emergency services immediately but she thought that Jeff was “dying in my arms.”
Once emergency medical technicians had arrived at the scene, they quickly discovered that Jeff, 54, was having a stroke and decided that he had to be airlifted to a hospital in Denton, TX.

The hospital staff worked miracles to save his life and to prevent any further damage from the stroke.
Lauren, 29, says she became more suspicious of the cause of Jeff’s stroke due to medics not being able to identify or determine what caused it after running battery tests on their patient.
Talking to TMZ about the incident Lauren describes what the couple were doing before Jeff’s stroke.
Lauren said she and Jeff were enjoying a dinner date when a strange man approached them claiming he knew who they were and that he had knowledge of their favourite drink orders.

The mother of one claims that this is when the Netflix star’s drink could have been contaminated.
Despite her claims, Jeff’s blood and urine tests have both come back negative for commonly abused drugs. However, Lauren still believes an alleged perpetrator may have used something more unique to intoxicate her husband.
The couple has not yet reported the incident to the police.
After spending three days in the hospital, Jeff is currently back at home and is recovering. Lauren says he still having difficulties with his speech and coordination.

The pair were fairly vocal about their romance as they admitted that they were in an open relationship.
The couple often talked about how they would attend swingers parties in Las Vegas together, bringing tiger cubs with them when they meet new women.
