Model Presley Gerber, Son of Cindy Crawford, Found Dead at 27

Model Presley Gerber died September 20, 2026, in Los Angeles at the age of 27. According to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's report, he died at a rehabilitation facility, with Santa Monica police indicating Gerber's death was likely the result of a drug overdose. Presley Gerber, the 27-year-old son of supermodel Cindy Crawford, checked into a Southern California rehab facility hours before authorities found him unresponsive and 'cold to the touch', according to law enforcement sources. Santa Monica police responded to a report of a possible overdose around 9:35 a.m., at which point he was pronounced dead. Gerber modeled for prominent brands like Calvin Klein and Dolce & Gabbana, and he spoke candidly on social media about mental health issues. Prior to his death, Presley had been candid about his struggles with substance abuse and mental health, and back in 2023, he initiated 'Mental Health Mondays,' a social media series where he talked about healthy habits and tools he learned over the years to help manage his mental health and wellbeing. Gerber is the eldest child of supermodel Crawford and businessman Rande Gerber, who married in 1998, and his younger sister, Kaia, is also a model and has been featured in campaigns for Dolce & Gabbana and Calvin Klein, among others. The family is asking for privacy during this very difficult and painful time.
