Presley Gerber, the son of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, reportedly filmed a video of himself inside a sober living house in Santa Monica, California, before his death on September 20. The clip, obtained by TMZ and Page Six, appears to show the Resolutions Living facility, with Gerber in a white tank top, glasses, and a necklace, showing a room with a bed and a balcony overlooking the city skyline. He was 27 years old.
Authorities responded to a 9:35 a.m. overdose call and found an unresponsive adult male at a rehab facility, where Gerber died. The LA County Medical Examiner has deferred the cause and manner of death pending additional testing, so official answers are still to come. Gerber was reportedly cremated less than a week after his death, with his ashes kept at his parents’Malibu home. A funeral has not yet been held.
His girlfriend, Charlie Manley, posted a tribute describing him as“the most incredible and inspirational human I’ve ever known”and saying she felt“endlessly lucky to have loved and been loved by you in your final months here.”If you or someone you love is dealing with substance use, SAMHSA’s National Helpline is 1-800-662-4357, free and confidential, 24/7. What do you think families owe the public when a loss like this becomes a headline?
