Presley Gerber Dies at 27 as Resident Evil Sets a Franchise Box Office Record
Presley Gerber, the 27-year-old son of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, has died at a rehabilitation facility, according to NBC News and reports citing the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner. His cause of death has not been announced. The family has asked for privacy as they grieve.
Gerber’s death arrives alongside a busy and emotional week in American entertainment. Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil reboot opened with an estimated $60 million domestically and $108 million worldwide, giving the long-running franchise its biggest opening yet. Variety and The Hollywood Reporter reported on the film’s strong debut.
The contrast is a reminder that entertainment news can hold celebration and sorrow at the same time. In Washington, D.C., hundreds reportedly formed a human chain around the Kennedy Center to oppose its closure and possible demolition, according to The GW Hatchet. Meanwhile, a dispute involving Ed Sheeran and Macklemore has helped prompt approximately $6 million in humanitarian-aid pledges for Palestinians, as reported by The Independent.
For readers, the next step is simple: seek confirmed information, avoid repeating speculation, and give families room to mourn. If a story about loss feels personal, step away from the news and reach out to someone you trust.
