Overview
- Presley Gerber, 27, was taken to Resolutions Living in Santa Monica and died a few hours after admission on September 20, 2026.
- The county autopsy has been completed but toxicology tests are still pending, and investigators say an overdose is possible but not confirmed.
- Multiple reports say a member of Gerber's care team told the facility he appeared 'high' before arrival yet was admitted, and Resolutions Living has not publicly answered those specific claims.
- The family had Gerber cremated and plans a private memorial at their Malibu home while asking for privacy as they grieve.
- Treatment experts note that non-licensed sober-living homes are not equipped for medical detox and should not admit actively intoxicated people, a distinction that has focused new scrutiny on the facility and could prompt regulatory or investigative follow-up.
