Questions surrounding the death of Presley Gerber, the son of supermodel Cindy Crawford and businessman Rande Gerber are still prevalent as fans question his cause of death. The question has now intensified as a a new report detailed the criminal history and professional licensing record of the founder of the recovery residence where the model died.
The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner has not yet announced Gerber’s official cause of death. Page Six reported that Nabavi later pleaded no contest to misdemeanor drug possession charges. However, the office listed his place of death as a “rehabilitation facility. The police had reportedly found him asleep in a vehicle in an area known for narcotics activity. Officers allegedly recovered methamphetamine, marijuana, a handgun, ammunition and a hunting knife from the vehicle. He again pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor controlled substance charge.
Page Six has reported that Gerber, 27, died shortly after being admitted to Resolutions Living (RL), a sober living residence in Santa Monica, California. Nabavi was arrested in February 2002, according to documents reviewed by the publication. Court records cited by the report stated that a 15-year-old girl was also present and told officers she was under the influence of methamphetamine. He was arrested again in 2002 for allegedly agreeing to sell methamphetamine to an informant.
Those claims have not been independently confirmed by authorities. Representatives for the Gerber-Crawford family have not publicly commented on the report.
The publication, citing sources familiar with the matter, reported that he appeared “visibly under the influence” when he arrived. Gerber checked into the facility on Saturday and died the following day, according to Page Six .
