Anonymous
Presley Gerber, the 27-year-old son of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, died on September 20 at a Los Angeles-area rehabilitation facility. Authorities released his body after an examination but deferred determining the cause and manner of death pending further testing. Santa Monica police are investigating a suspected overdose and have reported no indication of foul play. Reports citing sources close to Gerber allege he struggled with ketamine and that a doctor prescribed it, but authorities have not disclosed what substances were present and the claims do not establish a cause of death. The Daily Mail, citing a death certificate, reported that Gerber had been cremated, while other coverage said his remains had been transferred to a mortuary.
