Presley was found unresponsive on Sunday morning at a sober house in Santa Monica, California.

It is unknown how long Gerber had been staying at the facility.

The Medical Examiner told The U.S. Sun that Gerber was pronounced dead at 9:45 am on Sunday, and as of Monday afternoon, an autopsy had been completed.

Gerber’s famous family, which also includes model/actress sister Kaia, released a statement after the tragic news, saying, “The family is asking for privacy during this very difficult and painful time.”

The model had been open about his battle with addiction and mental health for years before his death, and even spoke about trying psychedelic drug therapy in his battle for recovery.

In his final photos just weeks before his death, Gerber grinned at the camera in a lush backyard on Instagram.

The star’s celebrity parents and sister were very supportive of his recovery journey.

Crawford commented under the post: “You are a warrior! Walked thru fire to find yourself! So proud!”

“That’s my brother I am so damn proud,” sister Kaia wrote.

In July, iconic 90s model Crawford posted a birthday tribute to her beloved son.

“Happy birthday I’m so proud of the man you’ve become, but I’ll always see you as my little boy! Love you,” she wrote.

The Crawford-Gerber family has a sad history of tragedy.

Crawford’s brother died of cancer when she was a child.

“I was 8, my older sister would have been 10. My younger sister would have been 4 and Jeff was like 2, turning 3 when he got diagnosed, and then he was sick for two years,” she said in a recent interview.

“When he died, obviously that was devastating for the whole family. I think for my mother, she was able and chose to really grieve properly.

“She went to death and dying courses. She has a very strong faith.

“So she was able to move through grief. I think for my father, he had to go to work three days later… They just handled it very differently.”

“She was able to help us deal with it. I remember when I had my first kid… then I called my mom and was like, ‘OK, how did you survive?’ You know? ‘Cause you can’t imagine losing a child until you have a child.”
