Cindy Crawford Visits Late Son Presley's Home After Checking on Daughter Kaia
The model was seen leaving Kaia Gerber's residence before heading to her son Presley's home, three weeks after his reported overdose.
Cindy Crawford visited her late son Presley Gerber's home more than three weeks after his death, having first checked in with her daughter Kaia Gerber. The model was photographed on Thursday leaving Kaia's home before making her way to Presley's residence.
Crawford, 60, later met her husband, Rande Gerber, 64, at their son's home. Eyewitnesses reported that the couple remained at Presley's home after Kaia drove away.

This visit follows a family outing two days prior, where Kaia was seen with her parents for the first time since her brother's passing. Kaia had previously been observed in a state of grief in the days following Presley's death.
Presley Gerber died on September 20 at the age of 27. He had checked into the Resolutions Living facility in Santa Monica the day before his death. Security footage obtained from the night prior showed Presley giving a solo tour of the sober living facility. In the clip, Presley appeared visibly under the influence with glazed eyes.
Insiders claimed that Presley had used drugs on the afternoon of his death and expressed concern about losing control. His sober coach reportedly contacted the facility to arrange for Presley to be admitted, informing them that he was high. The facility's admissions officer allegedly agreed to take him in for the weekend, as the sober coach planned to transfer him to a rehabilitation facility the following Monday.

Sources also alleged that Presley continued to use drugs while at the sober living home. Presley's remains were cremated shortly after his death, with his parents reportedly planning to keep his ashes at their residence. A final determination regarding substances involved in his death awaits the Medical Examiner's toxicology report.
An automated voice recording of the 911 dispatch call from the Santa Monica rehab facility mentioned "cardiac arrest" followed by "overdose." The initial call at 9:35 a.m. on September 20 was for cardiac arrest, but it was upgraded to "overdose" three minutes later and further upgraded by 9:40 a.m.

Presley, who began modeling at a young age, had been open about his decade-long struggle with drug addiction and mental health challenges. In November, he announced he was stepping back from social media to focus on his mental health. The following month, he shared a video discussing his personal life and launched "Mental Health Mondays" on Instagram, detailing his medication for panic attacks and night terrors.
Earlier this year, he posted about undergoing a "Pre-ibogaine flood dose" at a treatment clinic in Mexico, a high-dose administration of ibogaine intended to help with withdrawal symptoms and induce a profound reset. Both Cindy Crawford and Kaia Gerber expressed pride in his courage for undertaking the treatment.

In a March post, Crawford commented, "You are a warrior! Walked thru the fire to find yourself! So proud!" Kaia added, "That's my brother I am so damn proud" and "I'm so proud of you and your courage. Facing what's hard takes real strength and watching you find your way back to yourself is everything. I love you so much."
Presley's death occurred weeks after Kaia spoke about the significant impact her brother's struggles had on their family. "When something like that happens in a family, it kind of levels everyone," Kaia told Vogue. A source told the Daily Mail that Kaia is a strong person who will persevere through this difficult time, despite her grief.
