Presley Gerber was barely 15 when IMG Models signed him and he walked for Moschino and Calvin Klein.
At 27, that same face was already different. Thinner, more tired, with a look his followers began to notice in every recent photo.
In December 2025, he uploaded a video to Instagram —later deleted— in which he spoke about Xanax, antidepressants, and panic attacks. He spoke of “many losses”.
His sister Kaia confirmed it months later in an interview with Vogue: the family had been privately dealing with his drug use and mental health for some time.
On Sunday, September 20, 2026, Presley died at a rehabilitation center in Los Angeles. He was 27.
The autopsy remains open and the official cause has not been revealed, but the path to that room had already been documented in every video, every post, every sign that Presley himself revealed before fading away.
