The businessman, 64, was photographed in a black Range Rover, wearing a blue T‑shirt, white shorts and blue sneakers, and spent roughly three hours walking the property’s lush landscaping. His wife Cindy Crawford was not present; Gerber was joined by an unnamed male companion.

The visit comes as the family deals with Presley’s cremation at Rose Family Funeral Home and plans for a small memorial service. A death certificate obtained by confirms the cremation and lists Presley’s occupation as an entrepreneur who worked in mental‑health.

The couple reportedly intend to keep his ashes in their Malibu home while exploring venues such as Forest Lawn or Malibu Presbyterian Church for the ceremony.

A police spokesperson confirmed that emergency services were called at 9:35 a.m., initially reporting a “cardiac arrest” before the call was upgraded to an “overdose” within minutes. The medical examiner’s toxicology report is pending.

## Background & Context

Presley Gerber, the son of model Cindy Crawford and businessman Rande Gerber, began modeling at 15 and appeared in campaigns for Dolce & Gabbana and Calvin Klein. He was signed to IMG Models and starred in a 2018 Pepsi ad with his mother.

Beyond modeling, Presley worked as an entrepreneur in mental‑health, a field he had publicly supported through social media initiatives such as “Mental Health Mondays.” He had a history of substance‑use and mental‑health challenges, including a 2019 driving‑under‑the‑influence arrest and a 2023 post about receiving a “Pre‑ibogaine flood dose” at a Mexican treatment clinic.

Presley’s struggle with addiction was well documented. In March he shared on Instagram that he had begun ibogaine therapy, describing it as a “reset.” His family praised his courage: Crawford tweeted, “You are a warrior! Walked thru the fire to find yourself!

So proud!” and sister Kaia, 25, said, “That’s my brother I am so damn proud.” The family has also received support from friends such as Laura Dern and George Clooney following the news of his passing.

The circumstances of Presley's death have attracted investigative scrutiny. Sources close to the case reported that fentanyl was not yet a focus of the investigation, though final confirmation will await toxicology results.

A physician had been prescribing ketamine to Presley despite his known drug‑addiction history, a detail that has sparked criticism from close friends who feel the prescription was improper.
