Presley Gerber death investigation underway in Santa Monica
Presley Gerber, the 27-year-old son of supermodel Cindy Crawford and businessman Rande Gerber, died on September 20 at a rehabilitation facility in Santa Monica, California. Emergency services responded to a call regarding a suspected overdose and cardiac arrest at approximately 9:35 AM, and Gerber was pronounced dead at 9:45 AM.
The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner is investigating the death, which is being treated as a suspected overdose. While an autopsy has been performed, official cause and manner of death are pending final toxicology results. Reports indicate Gerber had a persistent struggle with substance abuse and had recently been prescribed ketamine as part of his treatment.
Questions have been raised regarding the facility, Resolutions Living, where Gerber had entered only hours before his death. Some reports suggest the center may not be licensed as a residential facility for treating substance use disorders. Additionally, the facility's owner has faced previous legal scrutiny regarding controlled substances.
The Gerber-Crawford family has requested privacy during this time. Following his passing, Gerber was cremated, and his ashes will remain at the family's Malibu residence. Close friends, including actor George Clooney, have reportedly offered support to the family.
