  "account": "Cindy Crawford's son, Presley Gerber, passed away at the age of 27 on Sunday. He had been receiving treatment at a rehab facility in Los Angeles when he died. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner is investigating the cause of death, which has not been disclosed publicly. Crawford's representative confirmed the news to CNN, and the family is seeking privacy during this challenging time.\n\nBorn in 1999 to supermodel Cindy Crawford and businessman Rande Gerber, Presley was the only son and older brother to model and actor Kaia Gerber. He began his career in fashion at a young age, making his runway debut for Moschino at 16. Over the years, he walked for renowned brands such as Burberry, Dolce & Gabbana, Bottega Veneta, Tommy Hilfiger, and Ralph Lauren.

She emphasized that she saw him as her \"little boy\" and that she was proud of the man he had become. Kaia Gerber, in an interview with Vogue, discussed the impact of her brother's struggles with addiction on their family, acknowledging that being open about mental health challenges can be difficult for everyone involved. Further details regarding the circumstances surrounding Presley Gerber's death have not been released to the public.",
  "summary": "Only weeks before her brother's death, Kaia Gerber had described what he had given their family. \"My parents for most of our lives were very, very private and didn't share anything — and now we have this absolute teacher, my brother, who says, 'I'm going to be very human for everyone,'\" she said.
