Inside Presley Gerber's final days
According to a report by TMZ, Presley Gerber was staying at a rehabilitation facility in Los Angeles at the time of his death. In fact, he lived in a separate residence on the facility's grounds. Eventually, paramedics reportedly declared him dead at 9:45 a.m. on September 20, 2026.
After some time, the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner confirmed the news. Alongside, they started an investigation to determine the circumstances surrounding his death. Meanwhile, the officials have clarified that they are still working on finding out the official cause of his death. In fact, they are waiting for the reports of toxicology tests and autopsy before confirming anything.
Meanwhile, the Santa Monica Police Department is currently leading the investigation. However, they have mentioned that as of now, they have limited information. So, they urged the media and fans not to draw any conclusions before they release any official statement. Still, sources close to the situation told the news outlet that Presley's family has been informed that they suspect a possible overdose.
The reports about Presley Gerber's suspected overdose came to the surface after news outlets confirmed his death. Eventually, toxicology testing is expected to determine whether any substances were present in his system during the time of death. After the tragedy, Cindy Crawford, Rande Gerber, and their daughter, Kaia, confirmed the news. Alongside, they sought privacy to deal with the "extremely painful period."
Presley's death at a young age has also made fans revisit his long battle against addiction and mental health challenges. In contrast to other people in the entertainment world, he was rather open about his experiences. During the last few years, the 27-year-old shared how he dealt with depression, anxiety, and substance abuse. Presley hoped that anyone who was facing a similar challenge might benefit from his experiences.
One of the most difficult moments in the journey reportedly came after he had a near-fatal fentanyl overdose in 2024. But it was also a major turning point in his life and made him seek intensive treatment and recovery programs. For those who don't know, one of the final updates shared by Presley was related to his ongoing ibogaine treatment.
It is a controversial psychedelic-assisted therapy that is rarely used to help people overcome their substance dependence. Although he admitted he was scared about it in the beginning, he still hoped it would help him move forward. Earlier, in 2026, he also joined a panel discussion to speak about mental health awareness and encouraged people to be open about the same. Likewise, his younger sister, Kaia Gerber, praised him in public for the same.

Presley Gerber was born on July 2, 1999. As the son of a famous model, he grew up in a famous fashion family. The 27-year-old followed his parents' footsteps to step into the world of modeling as a teenager. Soon, he found success and collaborations from leading brands such as Burberry, Dolce and Gabbana, Tommy Hilfiger, and Ralph Lauren.
Still, it was personal struggles that brought Presley into the headlines. He once came under public scrutiny for getting a facial tattoo of the word 'MISUNDERSTOOD' on his cheekbone before getting it removed. Later, he was taken into custody for DUI in 2019. During Presley's final years, he was less involved in modeling and more in speaking about mental health and recovery.
