Cindy Crawford's Son Presley Gerber's Last Video from the Sober House Surfaces, Leaving Fans With Unanswered Questions

Roughly 12 hours after Presley Gerber filmed a tour of a bedroom, he was found dead. A phone call was made before it, and viewers noticed something missing.

Presley, 27, died on a Sunday morning at a Santa Monica sober house, and sources say several decisions were made before he ever stepped inside.

The footage, the people behind the scenes, and even the building have drawn attention, and one small detail in the clip has viewers talking.

A Disturbing Tour in the Dark

TMZ obtained a video that Presley shot inside Resolutions Living, the Santa Monica sober house where he died. He filmed it around 10 PM on Saturday, September 19, 2026.

In the footage, Presley walks through a bedroom and other areas of the house, giving a tour. No one else is in sight. TMZ says it is apparent that Presley is high.

The outlet slowed the video down, which is why it looks jumpy. Roughly 12 hours after he recorded it, Presley was found dead.

What Sources Say Happened Before the Video

Sources with direct knowledge told TMZ that Presley got high on Saturday afternoon and became scared he was losing control. His sober coach then called Resolutions Living and asked if he could bring Presley in.

The coach admitted that Presley was high on drugs, according to those sources. They say the admissions officer replied that the house would be glad to take him. Owners of multiple rehab facilities told TMZ that sending someone who is high to a sober house breaks a cardinal rule in rehab.

TMZ's sources say the coach had planned to take Presley to a rehab facility the following Monday. He needed a place for him over the weekend, so he took Presley to Resolutions and left him there. Presley was also using drugs inside the house, sources told TMZ.

The outlet reports that he presumably thought it was his last weekend to indulge before entering rehab. He never made it to that appointment.

Sources connected to Resolutions told TMZ that the admissions officer was fired. TMZ made multiple calls to the sober coach, the admissions officer, and the owner of Resolutions, and has not heard back.

The 9:30 AM Call

Police, firefighters, and ambulances rushed to the house after a call around 9:30 on Sunday morning. Emergency dispatch information obtained by Page Six listed the reason as "cardiac arrest" and "overdose."

Presley was pronounced dead at the scene. The Los Angeles County medical examiner has not released his cause and manner of death. The son of Cindy Crawford, 60, and Rande Gerber, 64, had a well-documented history of substance abuse, addiction, and mental health issues.

A source told Page Six he was struggling before seeking treatment and "knew he needed help," and that he wanted to be "free" of his addictions once and for all. The same source said he had long dealt with low self-esteem and trouble accepting his real self.

A $7.7 Million Home, Not a Licensed Rehab

Page Six described Resolutions Living as a $7.7 million, three-story home in Santa Monica. Its website says it focuses on addiction and mental health support, with staff who cater to each resident's needs.

The program promises peace and serenity, plus the chance to explore Southern California. The house has spacious living quarters, a movie theater, a gym, views of the city and nearby mountains, and a fully stocked kitchen with meals curated by chefs.

Residents take part in a "three-phase recovery program" that includes "goal-setting activities, volunteer work and character-building exercises," according to the website. It listed certified counselors, doctors, psychiatrists, psychologists, therapists, yoga instructors, an acupuncturist, and a hypnotherapist on staff.

Yet the county listed Presley's place of death as a "rehabilitation facility," and a Department of Health Care Services rep told Page Six the house is not a licensed substance use disorder residential treatment facility.

Based on public information, the rep said, it appears to operate as a sober living environment or recovery residence, which the state does not license.

NBC News reported that the home was not required to be licensed by the state agency that regulates substance-use treatment centers. California has no state agency responsible for monitoring or tracking sober-living homes.

That gap means places like Resolutions Living can market luxury amenities while operating without doctors, nurses, or licensed therapists on staff. Page Six also reported that the website's wording was updated and its entire staff page was scrubbed in the days after Presley's death.

Its now-defunct FAQ page had said people without enough clean time for its outpatient programs were referred elsewhere to be "medically supervised for their detoxification phase under 24-hour nursing care."

Page Six confirmed that Presley was admitted on Saturday, the day before he died. Sources with direct knowledge said he was "visibly under the influence" at the time, and it is unclear whether he was medically or psychologically evaluated when he arrived.

Richard Taite, founder and chairman of Carrara Treatment, which is not affiliated with Resolutions Living, told Page Six that professional care "doesn't make somebody medically invincible."

He said addiction can involve withdrawal, underlying health conditions, medication interactions, overdose risk, and complications from multiple substances.

A Founder With a Troubled Past

Page Six exclusively reported that the founder and owner, Dr. Reza Nabavi, now 50, once had a psychology license application denied over a criminal past involving drugs and a minor.

According to official documents, the trouble began in February 2002, when Oakland police found him asleep in a car in an area known for "frequent narcotic and prostitution activity."

Nabavi was 25. He was with a 15-year-old girl who told officers she did not know him very well and was under the influence of methamphetamine. Officers said a search of the car turned up meth, marijuana, a hunting knife, a handgun, and ammunition.

In May 2002, he pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge of possession of a controlled substance and received 36 months of probation. Later that month, he was arrested again for possessing narcotics and paraphernalia after agreeing to sell meth to an informant.

Officers said they found meth, a glass meth pipe, and marijuana on him. In June 2002, he again pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor possession charge and again received 36 months of probation.

In September 2004, he applied to the California Board of Psychology to register as a psychologist. The application was denied that month due to a criminal conviction, a conviction substantially related to the practice of psychology, controlled substance use, and unprofessional conduct.

That was two years after the arrests and the same year he earned his Ph.D. in clinical psychology at the California School of Professional Psychology. He was denied again in May 2005.

In January 2006, he registered as a psychological assistant. The next month, that registration was revoked but stayed, meaning the revocation would only take effect if he broke the terms of a five-year probation.

Those terms included a psychological evaluation, notifying his employer, weekly monitoring by a California-licensed psychologist, entering a drug and alcohol recovery program, ongoing treatment, and random drug and alcohol testing.

He registered as a psychologist in December 2006 after complying with those terms. The board granted him an early end to his probation in May 2008, and his license is currently listed as expiring June 30, 2028.

From June 2006 to May 2011, Nabavi was director of family services at Promises Malibu, the celebrity-frequented rehab center that has since closed. Two years later, he opened Resolutions Living.

He is also founder and executive director of Resolutions Therapeutic Services, an outpatient provider that claims to offer partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and outpatient programs. It operates out of a Santa Monica office building, and participants are encouraged to continue their recovery at the house.

Claims About Prescriptions and Public Outrage

Days before the video surfaced, TMZ learned that Presley's doctor was allegedly prescribing him ketamine despite his known issues with the substance. People in regular contact with Presley told the outlet the doctor knew about his addiction.

Ketamine can be used to treat drug addiction, though that is not its FDA-approved purpose. Sources say it was a regular problem for Presley, and close friends are angry and think the doctor should be prosecuted.

TMZ still does not know what drugs were in his system when he died. It only knows that Presley opened up about his ketamine issues to close friends before he passed away.

On Instagram, the footage also prompted responses from people discussing addiction treatment and the decision to make Presley's final video public.

One commenter shared a personal experience: "Rehabs are a joke. Buried my son in February from an Fentanyl [sic] overdose. Guess where he was getting his drugs from?"

Another defended sharing the footage, writing, "Normally, I would agree with these comments, but I believe it's very important that this be shared. He had 24 seven sober coaches. Where in the hell were they and he checked himself into a rehab they are not allowed to take people who are under the influence."

A third commenter wrote, "So sad but very real. Presley wouldn't mind ; he wanted to be open and transparent . I met him when his best friend and I were in rehab in Malibu ! This happens and it good to see it is REAL ! Addiction is a terrible disease .. the more people accept it , the more it will be treated as a DISEASE !"

On Page Six's Facebook post, one user urged others to "Stop calling it a rehab facility It was not that Sober living without any of the restrictions and safety features of a detox and rehab facility."

Another focused on a smaller detail: "No rehab should ever let you keep your phone, no matter how luxury it is. If they let you keep your phone- it's not client care centered. And it's sad." [sic]

Then came a comment that was only four words long, and it may be the one that stuck: "Where's the face tattoo?"

The question refers to Presley's once-prominent face tattoo, which had previously drawn considerable attention. As our earlier coverage of Presley explained, there is a reason it was no longer visible.
