Presley Gerber, the son of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, died Sunday at a rehabilitation facility in Santa Monica. He was 27 years old. Sources say he went into cardiac arrest and suffered an overdose, though an official cause of death has not been released. His mother checked into treatment the same weekend, and a source close to the family says she is absolutely inconsolable.
What makes this story even more painful for fans is a 2010 interview that has resurfaced in the days since. Crawford, reflecting on her own mother’s loss of a young son to leukemia, said she couldn’t imagine the pain of losing a child. That quote now carries a weight no one could have predicted, and it’s spreading across social media as fans process the news alongside the family.
Presley was Crawford’s son with husband Rande Gerber and the older brother of model Kaia Gerber, 25. The family has been open about their history with addiction and rehab over the years, which is part of why this loss is resonating so deeply with people who have followed them. Crawford has not released a public statement. What do you want to say to the Gerber family today?
