Presley Gerber Allegedly Arrived at Rehab 'Under the Influence'
Presley Gerber's condition had reportedly gotten worse in the months prior to his death.
According to reports, Presley’s parents brought him to the rehab center in a final effort to help their son before tragedy struck.
When he arrived at the facility, he appeared to be under the influence, despite having a 24/7 sober coach, per TMZ. His companion was said to have frequently traveled with him and even provided around-the-clock support in the months leading up to his death.
Presley's appearance and behavior also reportedly changed significantly in the months before his death.
Parents 'Were Not Going To Give Up On Him'
Presley's parents Rande Gerber and Cindy Crawford were determined to help son.
A source told The Daily Mail: "Both his parents made him go to rehab because they knew he was using. They were not going to give up on him, so they tried another rehab center, they had so much hope."
Rather than stepping back after years of setbacks, the couple reportedly doubled down on their efforts, continuing to research programs and pursue new options.
"They are helicopter parents, they are super involved, they did not drop the ball here," the insider continued.
According to them, Crawford and Rande "pushed and pushed" for improvement because they believed their son could still be saved.
'Prescribed Ketamine by His Doctor'
The model's pals are furious with doctor who allegedly gave him ketamine, according to a source.
Long before Presley checked into the Santa Monica rehab facility where he spent his final hours, one concern was said to have haunted his parents more than any other.
According to one insider, "Their worst fear was that he would get a bad cocktail of drugs and die."
RadarOnline.com recently reported that Presley was allegedly prescribed ketamine by his doctor, despite the model's known issues with the drug.
Friends of Presley were reportedly angry with the doctor for giving him the drug and believe they should be prosecuted.
Ketamine is not FDA-approved as a treatment for drug addiction, even though it has been used for that purpose. It is a versatile medical drug primarily used as a dissociative anesthetic because of its rapid sedation and pain relief.
