Further details about the circumstances surrounding Presley Gerber's tragic death on Sunday (20 September) have emerged.
The 27-year-old, from California, is understood to have passed away after suffering a 'suspected overdose'. The Los Angeles Medical Examiner said that he had died at a rehab facility.
Audio of the frantic 911 call that was made on Sunday has since been obtained by Page Six, which reportedly referenced the words 'cardiac arrest' and 'overdose'.

Page Six said that the operator appeared to then 'upgrade' the call.
Emergency responders rushed to the scene at 9:35 am local time on Sunday, according to Us Weekly, before discovering an unresponsive adult male.
Citing the Santa Monica Police Department, the outlet explained that detectives are 'investigating the death as a suspected overdose'.
"At this time, there is no indication of foul play," the statement from officials added. "The official cause and manner of death will be determined by the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner."
Us Weekly also reported that an autopsy was carried out on Monday (21 September) and that Presley's body is now 'ready for release'.
The model's cause of death currently remains unclear. Further tests are set to be carried out to determine this.
Tributes have been pouring in for Presley since the sad news broke and his former girlfriend Charlotte D’Alessio has now spoken out about his passing on social media.
In a poignant series of posts shared to her Instagram Story, she said she 'shared a pure love' with the son of supermodel Cindy Crawford and businessman Rande Gerber.
"For that I thank and honour your life," Charlotte said. "You deserved more time. You deserved more life. Very angry ab this."
Sharing a snap of them embracing, she then wrote: "Love u Pres. Always. Up there, down here. don’t ever doubt that. We all love you so much. I hope you can feel it."
Presley had openly discussed his struggles with his mental health and substance abuse prior to his death.
Presley's 'decade-long' battle
He previously described how his own turmoil had inspired him to 'help people', previously telling the Studio 22 podcast: "Having struggled with mental health, depression and some other things that come along with that, I think that whether I help one person or a hundred people get out of that place that I was in at one point in my life, that’s all I need to do.
"[Mental health] is an issue. It is such a big part of my life. It’s a 24/7 job, and there’s so much to it."
Presley's sister Kaia, 25, also discussed her brother's 'decade-long struggle with drug addiction' during an interview with Vogue in August this year.
"My parents for most of our lives were very, very private and didn’t share anything," she said.
"And now we have this absolute teacher, my brother, who says, ‘I’m gonna be very human for everyone'.
"There’s only so much you can hide from the world. And trying to put a lid on something just makes the person feel like you’re ashamed of them."
