Breaking: Cindy Crawford's son dies aged 27

American supermodel Cindy Crawford's 27-year-old son, Presley Gerber, has passed away. Gerber's death was confirmed by a family representative, who requested privacy. The young model had been open about his struggles with mental health and substance abuse on his Instagram account. His sister, Kaia Gerber, a model and actress, expressed pride in Presley for openly addressing his issues and seeking help.

Presley's Instagram profile, which documented his battle with mental health and sedative use, was filled with tributes from fans and family members. He had begun his modeling career at the age of 15 and had worked with major fashion weeks worldwide. In 2019, Presley was arrested in California for driving under the influence and was subsequently sentenced to three years of probation.

His sister revealed that his decade-long struggle with drug addiction had taken a toll on the family. Presley had maintained a mental health journey series on social media, sharing his progress with followers. Earlier this year, he had also undertaken psychotherapeutic drug treatment in Mexico.
