The LA County Medical Examiner said Monday that the case remains in its early stages, the Santa Monica Police Department handling the investigation.
A deputy examiner performed an initial examination, but the cause and manner of death have been deferred pending further testing. This may take several months.
“The County of Los Angeles Department of Medical Examiner (DME) is in the early stages of investigating the death of 27-year-old model Presley Gerber and limited information is currently available,” the office said in a statement.
“A deputy medical examiner performed an examination today and the cause and manner of death have been deferred, which means additional testing and/or studies were requested in order to make a determination… Deferred cases can take a few months before a cause of death is determined.”
Presley spoke candidly about his struggles and wanted to help others
Presley was the son of supermodel Cindy Crawford and businessman Rande Gerber and brother of actress and model Kaia Gerber. He followed his mother’s footsteps into modeling.
