Presley Gerber, Son of Cindy Crawford, Dies at 27 in Rehab Months After His Candid Post About Addiction

Presley Gerber, the 27-year-old son of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, has died at an undisclosed rehab facility. An autopsy has not yet been completed, and no cause of death has been released. He is survived by his parents, his sister Kaia, and a family that spent years publicly cheering on his recovery.

Six months before his death, Gerber shared footage from a wellness clinic in Cancun, where he underwent ibogaine treatment, an experimental approach that’s drawn growing interest in addiction medicine. In his post, he wrote that he was terrified before the dose, that he faced what he had been running from, and that he started finding his way back to himself. He had struggled with addiction for a decade, including a near-fatal fentanyl overdose in 2024.

His death has pushed two conversations forward at once: grief for a family losing a son far too young, and questions about what actually works when someone is fighting for their life. If his story resonates with you, what’s one thing you’d want people to understand about recovery?
