Presley Gerber’s Death Investigated as Suspected Overdose
Presley Gerber, the 27-year-old son of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, died at a rehabilitation facility in Santa Monica on September 20, and police are investigating his death as a suspected overdose. The Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner has not determined the official cause or manner of death, leaving the circumstances under investigation. Santa Monica police said the investigation was in its early stages and that information was limited. The medical examiner’s determination is pending. Reports citing emergency dispatch transmissions described calls involving a possible overdose and cardiac arrest, but those accounts do not establish the cause of death. Crawford and Rande Gerber’s representative asked for privacy following their son’s death. Presley’s sister, Kaia Gerber, is also part of the family. The parents’ statement did not provide further details about the circumstances. George Clooney, a longtime friend of Rande Gerber, has been described in reports as close to Presley and the family. An unnamed source close to Clooney told the Daily Mail that Clooney had spent time talking with Presley and advised him to be careful after a 2018 DUI.
