Presley Gerber
TheGuardian.com news outlet has reported that the death of Presley Gerber, the 27-year-old son of supermodel Cindy Crawford and entrepreneur Rande Gerber, is being investigated as a suspected overdose, according to police.
Gerber died at a rehabilitation facility, Los Angeles county medical examiner records show. An autopsy was performed, but more testing was required before investigators could give a cause of death for Gerber, which the medical examiner did not immediately do.
Gerber was found dead hours after being admitted to the $7.7 property known as Resolutions Living, a sober living environment in Malibu California that may or may not have tested Gerber for drug toxicity upon intake. “Much remains unknown about Presley Gerber’s death, we need to wait until all of the facts come out following the investigation, said Nico Vara, Senior Program Coordinator at Avante Ibogaine Institute in Nassau, Bahamas. Sober living environments are loosely regulated in comparison to clinical treatment centers, so it is not required that a toxicology or even a simple drug screen is performed at intake. He may have ingested a toxic combination or high dosage of drugs prior to being admitted. By the time it impacted him he may have been alone in his room and went into respiratory depression. This is what we suspect, added Vara.
This brings to light the importance of differentiating between the types of treatments and centers that we send or approve our loved ones to attend. “Sober living means just that. They are a small community of individuals living within a communal environment that maintains a sober lifestyle and should be subject to regular random drug screening and held to a required zero tolerance for drug and alcohol use. However, sober living is far different from a clinical treatment center that actually treats and stabilizes the patient for drug toxicity and alcohol intoxication immediately upon intake.
Avante Ibogaine Institute in Nassau Bahamas is a full scale luxury ibogaine treatment center that subscribes to clinical standards of care including drug and alcohol toxicity stabilization and full clinical monitoring immediately upon intake. Patients are immediately provided IV electrolyte and nutraceutical therapy, medically stabilized and cardiac monitored during those first crucial hours following intake. “We have no idea what a patient has ingested prior to walking into the center. Often times, they may take that last dose of a drug or quickly finish whatever they had resulting in excessive dosing, which can be highly dangerous. It is imperative to monitor the patient for the first 24-48 hours to ensure that they are stable and safe.”
Avante Ibogaine Institute provides psychedelic-assisted therapy for drug and alcohol addiction, PTSD, depression, GAD, OCD, traumatic brain injury and other behavioral and neurological disorders. For information on Avante Ibogaine Bahamas, visit avanteibogaine.com or call 1-844-4-AVANTE.
