#SHOWBIZ: ​Cindy Crawford's son Presley Gerber cremated following death at LA treatment centre

LOS ANGELES: Model Presley Gerber, the 27-year-old son of supermodel Cindy Crawford and businessman Rande Gerber, has been cremated following his death at a rehabilitation center in Los Angeles.

According to official documents obtained by TMZ, the cremation took place at the Rose Family Funeral Home in Simi Valley, California, just days after he passed away on Sept 20 at the Resolutions Living sober-living facility.

​While an official cause of death remains unconfirmed, the Santa Monica Police Department has characterized the incident as a "suspected overdose," adding that there were no signs of foul play, USA Today reported.

Emergency services responded to a 911 call reporting a possible overdose and cardiac arrest at the facility, with the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner confirming he was pronounced dead at 9.45am.

​An initial examination of Gerber's body was completed on the day of his death, but the medical examiner's office deferred the case pending further toxicology testing and investigations to determine the exact cause and manner of death.

Following the tragedy, a representative for Crawford and Gerber—who are also parents to 25-year-old model and actress Kaia Gerber—issued a brief statement confirming their son's death: "The family is asking for privacy during this very difficult and painful time."

​Questions have since arisen regarding the facility where Gerber was staying.

Resolutions Living describes itself as a leader in addiction and mental health support, though legal experts note that liability in such cases depends heavily on facility protocols and individual care plans.

Southern California wrongful death attorney John J. Perlstein noted that overdose incidents occur with unfortunate frequency at treatment centers due to the environment, though specific details regarding Gerber's treatment plan and the center's degree of supervision remain under scrutiny.
