Presley Gerber, the model son of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, has died at 27. He passed away on September 20 at a rehab facility, and the Santa Monica Police Department is investigating the death as a suspected overdose. No foul play has been indicated, and while an autopsy has been completed, the medical examiner has deferred the cause of death.
His ex-girlfriend, Charlotte D’Alessio, broke her silence on September 21 with a moving Instagram tribute. The two dated for about two years after first being linked in 2017. Her post featured throwback photos and a video of Presley running with a small dog, along with a caption that read,“You deserved more time. You deserved more life. Very angry about this.”
Presley had been candid about his mental health and substance use struggles, saying in 2023 that he hoped his mistakes could spare others from the same path. He is survived by his parents, Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, and his sister, Kaia Gerber. His family and friends are asking for privacy during this devastating time.
