The medical examiner has not determined Presley Gerber’s official cause of death
According to TMZ, the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner has completed Gerber’s autopsy. The agency has not yet listed an official cause of death. The outlet reported that officials have not connected his death to an overdose or any specific substance. The investigation remains ongoing.
Gerber died Sunday at a rehab facility at age 27. Sources told TMZ that he lived in a separate house on the grounds with several other people. The 911 call reportedly came in as a suspected overdose, and police are investigating whether drugs played a role in his death. Authorities have also said they do not suspect foul play.
Months before his death, Gerber spoke about undergoing an “Ibogaine Flood Dose” treatment. He said he felt “absolutely terrified” before the experience but hoped it could help him find his way back to himself. Ibogaine is a psychedelic substance that researchers have studied as a possible treatment for addiction. It remains illegal in the United States but is available in some other countries, including Mexico.
In a March post, Gerber said giving up control had not come easily. He also said he had finally faced what he had been avoiding and hoped the treatment would be his last. His family supported him in the comments, with Cindy Crawford calling him a “warrior.” Rande Gerber praised his courage, while Kaia Gerber said she was “so damn proud.”
For now, the medical examiner has not confirmed an overdose as Gerber’s cause of death or identified any specific substance as a factor. Further investigation will determine his official cause and manner of death.
