Presley Gerber's Final Message: What He Said About Mental Health Months Before His Death at 27

Presley Gerber, the 27-year-old son of supermodel Cindy Crawford and businessman Rande Gerber, died Sunday at an undisclosed rehab facility. His cause of death is pending an autopsy, and the family has asked for privacy.

Months earlier, on June 11, Presley joined his parents at the We Are ENOUGH x Aviator Nation launch event in Malibu, posing between them for photos. During the event, he spoke candidly about his mental health, saying he came off various medications at 23, and encouraged everyone to move their bodies and get outside.“The most free I felt was when I was finally honest with myself,”he said, according to reports from the event.

Presley had been open about his recovery journey. In December 2025 he shared he was five months alcohol-free while navigating the difficult process of reducing prescription medications, and in May he traveled to Cancun for an ibogaine treatment, a psychedelic approach intended to break addiction cycles.
