What happened

Presley Gerber, the model son of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, died Sunday at age 27 at a rehab facility. He belonged to a famous modeling family: his sister is Kaia Gerber, and both siblings followed their mother into fashion. Gerber had publicly discussed depression, addiction and prescription-drug use, including through Instagram videos called “Mental Health Mondays.” A 2019 DUI case led to probation and a required DUI program. Crawford’s representative said the family is asking for privacy during a very difficult and painful time. Gerber said in 2023 that he wanted his experiences to help others. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner has not listed a cause of death.
