Cindy Crawford 'beyond heartbroken' to lose son Presley Gerber

Renowned supermodel Cindy Crawford expressed her profound sorrow over the loss of her son, Presley Gerber. In an emotional Instagram post, she described her family as "beyond heartbroken" as they mourn the untimely death of their 27-year-old son. A black-and-white photograph of the young man accompanied her heartfelt message, alongside a poignant tribute to his legacy.

According to police, Presley's passing is being investigated as a suspected overdose, with the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's office maintaining an open case pending further investigation. The Santa Monica Police Department has ruled out foul play in connection with his death.

Presley, the son of Cindy Crawford and businessman Rande Gerber, had already made a successful mark as a model, even debuting on the catwalk for Italian fashion label Moschino at the tender age of 16. The young man's dedication to promoting mental health awareness was evident in his frequent Instagram posts under the "Mental Health Mondays" campaign.

In addition to his sister Kaia, Presley was remembered fondly by his father, who co-founded the popular tequila brand Casamigos alongside actor George Clooney. In her tribute, Kaia paid tribute to her brother through a four-page letter, images, and video, expressing her love and the challenges of coping without him. Together, the family honored the memory of their beloved son, Presley Gerber.
