Police were called to Presley Gerber's sober living home over a separate overdose months before he died

The Santa Monica sober living home where Presley Gerber died had already drawn police for a different overdose scare earlier this year.

The February call

Santa Monica Police Department records show officers went to Resolutions Living on Feb. 18, 2026. Someone at the home was worried a patient had overdosed.

A person tied to the facility with direct knowledge says the patient was a woman who had been found unresponsive. She was brought back but reportedly needed as many as five doses of Narcan before she came to.

When police got there she no longer needed a trip to the hospital. Officers talked with her and then left.

That scare came seven months before Gerber was found dead in the same home.

What is known about Gerber's death

Crawford and Rande Gerber lost their son on Sept. 20 at that same home. He had moved in only hours earlier. First responders tried to save him but he was declared dead at 9:45 a.m.

Sources have said his sober coach warned the facility ahead of time that he was high and that staff let him in anyway. Video later showed him inside soon after he arrived, apparently under the influence. Sources also say he kept using while he was there.

The home's admissions officer was fired after his death, according to people connected to the facility.

Owner Dr. Reza Nabavi has previously declined to answer questions about letting Gerber in while he was allegedly high. He has not responded to the latest request for comment.

Investigators are still treating the death as a suspected overdose. An official cause has not been announced.
