Presley Gerber's Death Being Investigated as an Overdose, Police Say

Police are investigating whether the model’s death involved prescription ketamine as toxicology tests continue, with the cause and manner still deferred.

  • On Sunday, Presley Gerber, son of supermodel Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, died at a Los Angeles rehab facility at age 27. The Santa Monica Police Department is investigating the death as a suspected overdose.
  • In recent years, Gerber spoke publicly about his struggles with mental health and addiction. In March, he documented undergoing an experimental drug treatment called a 'pre Ibogaine Flood Dose' in Cancun, Mexico.
  • Canadian model Charlotte D'Alessio, who dated Gerber for two years from 2018, wrote on Instagram Stories that she is "very" angry and will "always remember" him. Stars including Brooklyn Beckham and Paris Hilton wrote they are "heartbroken."
  • The Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner is determining the official cause and manner of death. Investigators note no indication of foul play, while the family is asking for privacy during this difficult time.
  • Signed by IMG Models at 15, Gerber debuted for Moschino in Los Angeles in 2016 and modeled for major brands including Burberry, Dolce & Gabbana, and Celine throughout his career.
