Presley Gerber, the 27-year-old model and only son of Cindy Crawford, died on September 20 at a rehabilitation facility in California. Page Six has since obtained the 911 dispatch audio from that day, and on the recording an automated voice is heard saying“cardiac arrest”and“overdose.”The address tied to the call matches the facility where Gerber was staying.
According to a source on the scene, police, ambulance and firefighters all responded to the call, and emergency crews remained there for about three hours. Gerber was living with several other people in a sober house on the grounds of the Los Angeles-area center at the time of his death. The story is still developing as more details emerge.
His death raises hard questions about how overdose risks are managed inside treatment and sober-living settings, places families trust as the safest environment possible. For anyone dealing with addiction or supporting someone who is, the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline is available around the clock by call or text. What do you think needs to change in recovery housing?
