Cindy Crawford, Rande Gerber's Son Presley Gerber Cremated After Autopsy
Presley Gerber’s ex-girlfriend will never forget her “angel.”
Six days after Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber’s son died at the age of 27, his ex Cameron Rorrison shared an emotional tribute to Presley, explaining what she hopes he will be remembered for.
“I've had a difficult time finding the words as I feel like nothing I could say would ever do justice to the person Presley was,” Cameron wrote on her Instagram Stories Sept. 26. “But I'd like for him to be remembered for a few things...”
“Anyone who was lucky enough to have the gift of knowing Presley,” she continued, “will know him and remember him for his wide open heart, his inspiring compassion, and incredible understanding.”
The model—who dated Presley from 2018 to 2020—shared that one of Presley’s “most amazing” qualities was his “humanity and his unique way of making every person, no matter who, feel as brilliant and important as the next.”
And according to Cameron, she hasn’t found this “incredibly beautiful quality” as “honest and pure in another person since” Presley.
The 28-year-old concluded her message with a heartfelt sendoff, writing, “He was an angel in this life and will be in the next. I hope you can feel the outpouring of love up there Pres.”
Presley died of a suspected overdose inside of a rehab facility in Los Angeles on Sept. 20.
Five days after his passing, his death certificate confirmed his body was cremated, per the document obtained by TMZ on Sept. 25. His ashes will remain at his parents’ home in Malibu, according to the outlet.
While an autopsy for Presley—whose sister is Kaia Gerber—was performed before his cremation, his cause of death has been deferred by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner, noting that “additional testing and/or studies were requested in order to make a determination,” per a press release.

Although the investigation is still ongoing, Santa Monica Police Department told E! News in a Sept. 21 statement that he was found dead of a “suspected overdose,” adding that there is currently “no indication of foul play.”
Presley was open about his struggles with addiction and his mental health journey in recent years, sharing how wanted to help others going through similar experiences.
“Whether I help one person or a hundred people get out of that place that I was in at one point in my life, that's all I need to do," he said on a 2023 episode of the Studio 22 podcast. "That’s really what I want to do is help people—help people, whether you're depressed, you're struggling with something that is having a negative effect on your body. I mean, it could be anything, and there's no judgment.”
