Supermodel Cindy Crawford has expressed her profound sorrow following the death of her son, Presley Gerber, who passed away on September 20 at the age of 27. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner is currently investigating the circumstances surrounding his death, which authorities are treating as a possible overdose. While the investigation remains ongoing, officials have stated that there are currently no indications of foul play involved in the tragedy.
In a moving tribute shared on Instagram, Crawford described her son as a "sweet, beautiful soul" and conveyed her deep heartbreak over the loss. She spoke of her pride in his kindness and his willingness to be vulnerable throughout his life. Presley’s sister, Kaia Gerber, also shared heartfelt memories and tributes online, reflecting on the exceptionally close bond the two siblings shared while growing up in the spotlight.
Presley Gerber first entered the public eye at age 16 when he began a successful career in modeling, following the path of his famous mother. However, his professional success was often overshadowed by personal challenges. In recent years, he had been notably open with his followers and the media regarding his struggles with mental health and substance use, issues that have come to the forefront following his untimely passing.
As the family mourns, the entertainment industry has offered a wave of support and condolences to the Crawford-Gerber family. A final determination regarding the cause of death is expected to be released once the medical examiner completes a full toxicology report. For now, the family has asked for privacy as they process the loss of a young man they remembered for his gentle nature and creative spirit.
