Presley Gerber’s Death Investigated as Suspected Overdose
Presley Gerber, the 27-year-old son of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, died after entering a rehabilitation facility in Santa Monica, California, and police are investigating his death as a suspected overdose. The Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner has deferred the cause and manner of death after an examination was inconclusive, leaving the medical circumstances unresolved pending additional testing or studies. Santa Monica police said officers responded to a report of a possible overdose on September 20 and found an adult male dead. Police reported no indication of foul play and said the investigation remains open. The medical examiner said the examination was completed the following day, but did not disclose what further testing or studies had been requested. The agency said deferred cases can take a few months to resolve. Gerber had entered Resolutions Living, a rehabilitation facility in Santa Monica, shortly before his death. Accounts differ on the precise timing: some reports say he arrived Saturday evening and died Sunday, September 20, while another account places his death on Sunday morning.
