Presley Gerber, Model and Son of Cindy Crawford, Dies at 27

Presley Gerber, son of supermodel Cindy Crawford, died at 27 on September 21, 2026, after a documented struggle with addiction that he had chosen to face openly rather than in silence. His final Instagram post — a candid account of seeking treatment, with a prayer that it would be the last time — now stands as both testament and elegy. His passing reminds us that visibility and privilege do not insulate the young from the oldest of human battles, and that the courage to ask for help does not always guarantee survival.
