Presley Gerber, the son of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, died on Sunday, September 20, 2026, at the age of 27. A family spokesperson confirmed the death, stating that Gerber passed away at a rehabilitation facility.
According to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's Office, the cause of death was not immediately determined. In a statement released by the family publicist, the family requested privacy following the event.
Gerber worked as a model, following the career path of his mother and his sister, Kaia Gerber. His father, Rande Gerber, is a businessman known for co-founding the Casamigos tequila brand. The younger Gerber had recently spoken publicly about his history with depression and drug use.
For individuals who followed Gerber's career, the news marks the end of a professional trajectory that began when he made his runway debut at age 16 for the Italian label Moschino. He later modeled for brands such as Burberry, Dolce & Gabbana, and Bottega Veneta. In his personal life, Gerber had used his platform to speak about mental health, telling the Studio 22 podcast in 2023 that he hoped to help others by sharing his own experiences with depression. His sister, Kaia Gerber, recently described in American Vogue how the family had been affected by his struggles with addiction.
The case remains under the jurisdiction of the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's Office, which is tasked with determining the formal cause of death. Until those findings are released, the specific medical or external circumstances surrounding the death at the rehab facility remain unconfirmed. Following the completion of the medical examiner's report, a final case summary will be issued to document the findings for official records.
