Everything Presley Gerber Shared About His Addiction Battle Before His Death at 27
Authorities suspect a drug overdose as the cause while the medical examiner says the autopsy is still pending.
Presley Gerber, son of supermodel Cindy Crawford and businessman Rande Gerber, died on Sunday, September 20, 2026, at a Los Angeles rehabilitation facility. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner confirmed the death, with reports indicating a suspected drug overdose.
Before his death, Presley was open about long-standing struggles with addiction and mental health. In late 2025, he revealed he was taking various medications to manage his condition, seeking a supportive community to help him taper.
When Presley publicly shared his journey with Ibogaine treatment in March 2026, father Rande Gerber expressed support, saying, "I'm so proud of you and your courage." Sister Kaia Gerber backed him through modeling industry challenges.
The Santa Monica Police Department is investigating the death's circumstances. The medical examiner has not yet completed the autopsy, though reports indicate Presley had been living at a house on the rehabilitation center's grounds.
