Summary
Santa Monica police are trying to trace where the drugs came from after Presley Gerber died in an apparent overdose Sunday at Resolutions Living, a luxury outpatient rehab home.
Dispatch calls reported both a cardiac arrest and an overdose, and officers reached the facility at about 9:35 a.m.; paramedics pronounced the 27-year-old dead 10 minutes later.
Gerber had checked into the $7.7 million, seven-bedroom facility around 10 p.m. Saturday, just hours before his death.
The L.A. County medical examiner performed an autopsy Monday but deferred the cause and manner of death pending additional testing, a process that could take months.
Police said there is no indication of foul play so far, as the investigation focuses on the apparent overdose of the model, who had spoken publicly about addiction and mental health struggles.
