- Emergency dispatch recordings and police reports show calls for a cardiac arrest and a possible overdose, and Santa Monica officers found him unresponsive at the center.
- Cindy Crawford, Rande Gerber and their daughter Kaia published a joint Instagram post on October 18 thanking supporters, describing Presley as a loving son and brother, and asking for privacy.
- Some media accounts have described the death as a cardiac arrest tied to an accidental overdose but the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner has not issued a definitive cause and manner in the reports cited.
