Presley Gerber died at age 27 on September 20, 2026, at a Los Angeles-area rehabilitation facility. The medical examiner has not determined the official cause of death, while separate reporting says an overdose is suspected and police are investigating.

Presley Gerber, the 27-year-old son of supermodel Cindy Crawford and businessman Rande Gerber, died on September 20, 2026, while staying at a rehabilitation facility in the Los Angeles area. A family representative confirmed his death and asked for privacy. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner has not yet determined the official cause or manner of death.

Cause of death remains pending

The medical examiner said Gerber died at a rehabilitation facility and that an examination was pending. TMZ later reported, citing sources with direct knowledge, that his family had been told an overdose was suspected. That account has not been confirmed as the official cause of death.

The Santa Monica Police Department is investigating the death, while medical findings, including toxicology testing, are expected to help determine what happened.

Gerber had spoken publicly about addiction

Gerber had discussed mental health and substance-use struggles in interviews and on social media. In December 2025, he described medications he was taking for panic attacks and opioid-related treatment, including buprenorphine.

He also used social media to encourage more open discussion of mental health and recovery. In March 2026, Gerber wrote about undergoing ibogaine treatment outside the United States, describing the experience as part of his effort to address addiction and personal issues he had been avoiding.

Family had discussed his recovery

In an August 11, 2026, Vogue interview, his sister, Kaia Gerber, discussed the effect of her brother's long-term addiction struggles on their family and praised his willingness to speak openly about difficult experiences.

Gerber began modeling as a teenager and worked with major fashion brands, including Calvin Klein and Dolce & Gabbana. He is survived by his parents and sister.

The official cause of death remains unresolved. Further information is expected after the medical examiner completes its examination and toxicology review, while investigators have released limited details about the circumstances surrounding his death.
