Cindy Crawford’s son Presley Gerber dies at 27

Presley Gerber, the son of supermodel Cindy Crawford and businessman Rande Gerber, has died at the age of 27.

According to records from the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner, Presley died on Sunday, September 20. His family has confirmed the news and asked for privacy as they mourn the loss.

Crawford’s publicist said the family is going through an extremely difficult period and requested that their privacy be respected.

The cause of Presley’s death has not been disclosed. Records indicate that he died at a rehabilitation facility. An autopsy had not been completed at the time of the initial reports, so further details about the circumstances of his death remain unavailable.

Presley was the only son of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber. He was also the brother of model and actress Kaia Gerber.

Before his death, Presley had spoken publicly about his struggles with mental health and substance abuse. In a podcast appearance several years ago, he discussed dealing with depression and other personal challenges.

He also spoke about his desire to use his experiences to help others facing similar difficulties. Presley said mental health had become an important part of his life and that he wanted to support people struggling with depression or other issues without judgment.

He later used his social media platforms to discuss recovery and mental health. His “Mental Health Monday” videos focused on his personal experiences and his journey through a recovery programme.

Presley also faced legal trouble earlier in his adult life. He was charged with driving under the influence in December 2019. In 2020, he attracted attention after getting a “MISUNDERSTOOD” tattoo on his face, which appeared to have been removed the following year.

Alongside his personal struggles, Presley built a career in modelling. He made his runway debut for Italian fashion house Moschino at the age of 16.

He subsequently worked with several major international and American fashion brands. His modelling credits included Burberry, Dolce & Gabbana, Bottega Veneta, Tommy Hilfiger and Ralph Lauren.
