Presley Gerber, son of Cindy Crawford, dies at 27
Presley Gerber, the 27-year-old son of supermodel Cindy Crawford and entrepreneur Rande Gerber, has died at a rehabilitation facility in Santa Monica, California. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner confirmed the death, noting that an autopsy has been performed, though the official cause and manner of death remain deferred pending further toxicology results and studies.
Authorities are investigating the death as a suspected overdose, though police have stated there are currently no signs of criminal activity or violence. Emergency 911 records indicate that responders were called to the facility following reports of a cardiac arrest, with the situation later being reclassified as a suspected overdose.
Gerber, a professional model who worked with brands such as Moschino, Burberry, and Dolce & Gabbana, had been vocal about his struggles with mental health and substance abuse. He frequently used his social media platforms to discuss his journey with addiction and depression, even launching an initiative called ‘Mental Health Mondays’ to raise awareness. His family has requested privacy during this difficult time.
