Presley Gerber Cremated Following Autopsy, Ashes to Stay in Malibu
Presley Gerber, son of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, was cremated after an autopsy was completed. His ashes will be kept at his parents' Malibu home, according to his death certificate. Authorities are investigating his death at a Los Angeles rehab facility as a suspected overdose, with no foul play indicated.
Presley Gerber, 27, was the son of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber and brother of Kaia Gerber. He died at a Los Angeles rehab facility; Santa Monica police are treating the case as a suspected overdose and say no foul play is apparent. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner completed an autopsy but deferred the cause pending further testing.
His death certificate, obtained by TMZ, reportedly states his body was cremated five days after his death and that his ashes will remain at his parents’ Malibu residence. In earlier interviews, he and Kaia discussed his addiction and depression openly, with Presley saying he hoped his experiences could help others.
This story may deepen public conversation about addiction, rehab safety, and the pressures faced by celebrity families. Fans of Crawford, Gerber, and Kaia Gerber could feel a personal connection to the loss, while people struggling with substance use or depression may see reflections of Presley’s earlier openness. Coverage could also prompt scrutiny of treatment facilities and how families navigate private grief under public attention, though any broader policy or industry changes remain uncertain.
