Cindy Crawford has been left devastated following the sudden death of her 27-year-old son, Presley Gerber. The supermodel is reportedly struggling to come to terms with the loss of her only son, who died on September 20 at a rehabilitation facility in Santa Monica.
People close to the family describe the bond between Cindy and Presley as exceptionally strong. His death has reportedly left both Cindy and his father, Rande Gerber, struggling to process what happened. The family has asked for privacy during this extremely painful period.
Presley had faced serious personal difficulties for years and had spoken publicly about his struggles with substance use and mental health. Despite those challenges, his parents remained closely involved in his life and continued supporting him.
His sister, model Kaia Gerber, was also very close to Presley. Those around the family say the siblings shared a particularly strong relationship, making the loss even more painful for Kaia and the rest of the family.
Presley had recently been trying to turn his life around. He had previously spoken openly about recovery and his desire to use his own experiences to help other people dealing with similar difficulties.
His final days ended at a Santa Monica rehabilitation facility, where he had checked in shortly before his death. Police were called after reports of an apparent overdose and cardiac arrest. Authorities have said there was no indication of foul play.
Although an autopsy has been completed, the official cause and manner of death have not yet been determined. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner has said that additional testing is required before a final conclusion can be reached.
For Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, the loss marks an unimaginable family tragedy. Those close to them say Presley was deeply loved, and the family is now trying to navigate the devastating days following his death.
