Presley Gerber,<\/a> the son of supermodel Cindy Crawford and businessman Rande Gerber, was cremated days after his shocking death at a sober-living home in Los Angeles, according to reports. He was 27.<\/p>\n

His parents will keep the ashes at their home in Malibu, TMZ reported, citing the death certificate. Before the cremation<\/a> at Rose Family Funeral Home in Simi Valley, Calif., an autopsy was completed by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner, though a ruling on his cause of death has been deferred.<\/p>\n

In a statement earlier this week, the medical examiner said \u201cadditional testing and\/or studies were requested<\/a> in order to make a determination,\u201d adding it could still be months before the cause is officially confirmed. The Santa Monica Police\u00a0 Department has since said it is investigating the incident as a \u201csuspected overdose.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAt this time, there is no indication of foul play<\/a>,\u201d authorities said. \u201cThe official cause and manner of death will be determined by the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gerber died at the Resolutions Living sober-living home in the Los Angeles area on Sept. 20. Law enforcement responded to a report of a possible overdose and \u201ccardiac arrest\u201d at the facility, after which Gerber was pronounced dead at 9:45 a.m., according to 911 audio reported by People.<\/p>\n

Gerber had been open about his struggles with depression in the past. In a 2023 podcast, he said he hoped his story could help others<\/a> who have the same issues.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving struggled with mental health, depression and some other things that come along with that,\u201d he said, \u201cI think that whether I help one person or a hundred people get out of that place that I was in at one point in my life, that\u2019s all I need to do.<\/p>\n

\u201c(Mental health) is an issue. It is such a big part of my life. It\u2019s a 24\/7 job, and there\u2019s so much to it,\u201d he continued. \u201cThat\u2019s really what I want to do: help people, whether you\u2019re depressed, you\u2019re struggling with something that is having a negative effect on your body. I mean, it could be anything, and there\u2019s no judgment.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Presley Gerber, the son of supermodel Cindy Crawford and businessman Rande Gerber, was cremated days after his shocking…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":357944,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[98,100,99,44895,35796,41945,15311,11152,1016,7683,2190,9,24,63,131535,35795,133316],"class_list":["post-357943","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn-headlines","tag-brooklyn-news","tag-cause-of-death","tag-cindy-crawford","tag-cremation","tag-depression","tag-drug-overdose","tag-los-angeles","tag-medical-examiner","tag-mental-health","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-presley-gerber","tag-rande-gerber","tag-sober-living"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/357943","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=357943"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/357943\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/357944"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=357943"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=357943"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=357943"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
