He hadn't paid off his debt before his death, records indicate.
The late Khloe & Lamar star, who was 37 when he died, owed the state $512.10 in 2008, but he eventually paid it off three years later.
On her E! reality spinoff, Odom's estranged wife, Khloe Kardashian, often complained about her former NBA star hubby's tendency to give his lifelong best friend money.
Odom, who has struggled with addiction issues himself, is reportedly "beside himself" in the wake of the tragedy.
