Presley Gerber, the son of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, has been reported to have shared that he was “absolutely terrified” before undergoing an ibogaine treatment in Mexico. Both outlets link the post to his public discussion of addiction and mental health struggles and note that it came months before his death at age 27.

Reports describe Gerber’s family as responding with praise for his openness and courage after he shared his recovery journey publicly. One outlet also characterizes his death as occurring at a rehab facility. Both accounts frame the ibogaine treatment as the central event referenced in his earlier remarks, presented as part of his attempt to address addiction.

While the sources align on the timeline and his stated fear before the treatment, they differ slightly in emphasis: one stresses the personal and deeply reported nature of his remarks, while the other focuses more directly on the raw, video-based post and the months-before timing.
