Presley Gerber, the 27-year-old son of model Cindy Crawford, dies at a rehabilitation facility on Sunday, according to multiple reports. Outlets also say that his sister, model Kaia Gerber, had recently spoken publicly about his struggles with substance abuse.
Cindy Crawford and her family reportedly request privacy after Presley’s death. The New York Post and Vancouver Sun describe Crawford’s rare remarks that acknowledge Presley’s “warrior” spirit and focus on the difficulty of the period for the family. The Independent notes that Crawford also posts expressions of affection for her son in the weeks before his death, while Kaia Gerber’s earlier comments about his vulnerability are referenced across outlets.
The coverage differs mainly in emphasis: some stories foreground Crawford’s brief comments about Presley’s character and spirit, while others stress Kaia Gerber’s prior interview about his addiction. All accounts link Presley’s death with ongoing public discussion of his substance abuse within the family circle.
