Presley Gerber Death Marked Deferred Pending Full Investigation

Los Angeles County Medical Examiner records list Presley Gerber as 27 years old when his death was officially marked as deferred. That specific status means officials have not yet pinned down the exact cause or manner of passing. A deputy medical examiner conducted an examination today, but additional testing and studies were requested to reach a final determination. Because the investigation is still ongoing, there is currently limited information available for public release.

Santa Monica Police Department officials say they are looking into the death as a suspected overdose. Officers responded to a report around 9:35 a.m. on Sunday, Sept. 20. Upon arriving at the scene, they located an adult male who was already deceased. At this time, there is no indication of foul play involved in Presley's passing. The official cause and manner of death will be determined by the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner.

The department added that deferred cases can take a few months before a cause of death is determined. Due to the ongoing death investigation, the DME cannot disclose what specific testing or studies were requested for this case. A representative for Cindy Crawford issued a statement to Fox News Digital asking the family for privacy during this very difficult and painful time. Presley was the only son of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber. He was also the older brother of model and actress Kaia Gerber.

Presley had been open about his mental health struggles, speaking publicly about them on social media and in various interviews. The family is asking for privacy during this very difficult and painful time. The Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner identified the individual as Presley Gerber in their official documents.
