New details have been shared by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner following Presley Gerber’s Sept. 20 death at age 27.
On Sept. 21, the medical examiner’s office told PEOPLE that an exam is scheduled for today.
“The investigation is still ongoing and there is limited information available,” the statement continued. “Death was pronounced at 09:45 hours on September 20, 2026, by responding paramedics. The Santa Monica Police Department is the investigating law enforcement agency.”
Presley, the son of supermodel Cindy Crawford and businessman Rande Gerber, as well as brother to Kaia Gerber, was at a rehab facility when he died, an L.A. County Medical Examiner’s report previously revealed.
A representative for Crawford, Rande and Kaia told PEOPLE, “The family is asking for privacy during this very difficult and painful time.”
Prior to his death, Presley spoke about his mental health and his drug use.

“Having struggled with mental health, depression and some other things that come along with that, I think that whether I help one person or a hundred people get out of that place that I was in at one point in my life, that’s all I need to do,” he said on the Studio 22 podcast in 2023.
In one of his final social media posts prior to his death, Presley shared a video of himself before he underwent an “ibogaine flood dose.” Ibogaine, according to Stanford Medicine, is a naturally occurring psychedelic that comes from the root bark of the Central West African shrub Tabernanthe iboga, which can help treat addiction, among other ailments.
“Quiet moment before everything changed,” Presley began the caption of his March social media post. “I was absolutely terrified, and I knew I would be again if I ever had to face something like this.”
Presley also wrote in his social media caption that he was “praying it’s the last time I have to come back.”
