Owner of facility where Presley Gerber died had an alleged drug-related criminal history

Key Points:

• Presley Gerber, son of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, died at a recovery facility in Santa Monica on September 20, 2026, with his death under investigation as a suspected overdose; the official cause of death is pending toxicology results.
• The facility, Resolutions Living, founded by psychologist Reza Nabavi, is not licensed as a residential substance-use disorder treatment center but operates as a sober-living residence, which does not require the same state licensing.
• Reza Nabavi’s past includes two drug-related arrests in 2002 and initial difficulties obtaining professional psychology registration due to his criminal history, though he later became a licensed psychologist under probationary conditions.
• Nabavi specializes in substance-use disorders and mental health, but his criminal record and subsequent disciplinary actions have raised questions amid the scrutiny following Gerber’s death.
• Presley Gerber had publicly shared his struggles with addiction and mental health, including undergoing ibogaine treatment, and had actively advocated for mental health awareness before his untimely passing.
