In a rehab centre it was reported. How awful. Such a handsome boy but must have been very troubled. My heart goes out to his family, especially his sister it said he was very close to.
So very sad.

imagine how shit it must be to just be another person’s appendage even in death. People leaping to start a thread on social media can’t even be bothered to use your actual name. You’re just “celebrity’s son’ in the online rubbernecking.

@SkintyMcskintface

But would many people on here recognise the name Presley Gerber without mentioning his mothers name?

Yes, very sad OP. I think he had MH difficulties for some time. Anyone can be affected by drugs and poor MH even if you come from a wealthy and supportive family ☹️.

Yes thats true. His family seemed so close and supportive. They must be in bits.
Drugs really are the worst aren't they.

He had 15 different psychiatrists.
He said he was happy until he started working as a model at the age of 15.

I think it was interesting what his sister said in a previous interview, that there wasn't space for her to have a wobble as it wasn't fair on their parents to have two children needing things, or words to that effect. I felt sorry for her.

That's so sad 😢. Poor him and poor family.

It’s very sad. Seems like prescription drugs were an issue. I am so grateful my kids weren’t brought up in the US.

15 different doctors, all prescribing medications to him. He posted about it, saying he needed more guidance on what to take, how to take it and when to take it. There will be a lot of legal proceedings around this I should think.

He lived in a world where he had money and access to everything. He did not have purpose beyond his mental health - perhaps that in itself is a massive problem?

I can't imagine though. I simply cannot, and do not want to imagine the pain of the family right now.

I wonder if they were aware there were 14 others also prescribing? I assume not. How is that even allowed? It seems like such a basic thing to create laws around.

Very sad. My daughter has worked a couple of summers at a wealthy American summer camp for girls and all her bunk of teens was on medication. Mostly anxiety, adhd. She was shocked at levels of medication doled out and how normal it was for them to go for their meds.
