The modelling industry was left in shock following the confirmation of his untimely demise. Gerber, who was a former model, passed away on Sunday at a rehabilitation facility, though the official cause of death remains undetermined as an autopsy is pending.\n\nGerber's passing was confirmed by a family representative in a brief statement to The Hollywood Reporter. The statement expressed the family's need for privacy during this difficult and painful time. Presley was not only survived by his parents, businessman Rande Gerber and supermodel Cindy Crawford, but also his younger sister, 25-year-old model and actress Kaia Gerber.\n\nLike his mother, Presley had launched his modelling career as a teenager, alongside his sister Kaia. He began his modelling journey at the tender age of 15, signing with IMG Models. His career took off from there, with notable runway debuts for fashion houses such as Moschino in Los Angeles, Dolce & Gabbana in Milan, and even campaigns for Calvin Klein. Despite his success in the industry, Presley faced several public struggles in recent years, including a 2019 arrest for driving under the influence, which led to three years of probation, community service, and a mandatory DUI programme. He was open about his ongoing battle with depression and mental health challenges.\n\nIn 2020, Presley made headlines for getting a facial tattoo reading \"MISUNDERSTOOD,\" a statement he later appeared to have removed. His life and career have been marked by both success and adversity, leaving fans and the fashion industry mourning the loss of a young talent.", "summary": "LOS ANGELES: The son of supermodel Cindy Crawford and businessman Rande Gerber, Presley Gerber, has died at the age of 27.", "key_points": [ "Presley Gerber, Cindy Crawford's son, dies at 27 in Los Angeles.", "Former model, struggled with depression and DUI arrest.", "Survived by parents Rande Gerber and Cindy Crawford, sister Kaia." ], "editors_take": "The sudden death of Presley Gerber at 27 leaves his family, including model parents Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber and sister Kaia Gerber, to navigate a painful and difficult time.", "illustration": null, "coverage": { "outlets": 13, "also_reported_by": [ { "outlet": "Discovered", "title": "Cindy Crawford's son Presley Gerber dead at 27", "url": "https://urgent.news/2026/09/21/cindy-crawfords-son-presley-gerber-dead-at-27", "published": "2026-09-21T03:45:00.000Z" }, { "outlet": "Free Press Journal", "title": "Who Was Presley Gerber?
