Kaia Gerber makes major decision as Presley's tragic death 'isn't sinking in'

Kaia Gerber has put her career on hold as she tries to cope with the shock of her older brother Presley Gerber's death.

The 25-year-old model and actress is said to be struggling to comprehend that her brother is gone.

"Kaia had a packed schedule, and she has delayed a lot of her work stuff to deal with this. Everyone has been understanding," a source close to the family told Daily Mail.

"I don't know when she will go back to work," a tipster added.

For those unaware, Kaia's brother Presley was found unresponsive at a rehab facility in Santa Monica, California, on September 20. He was just 27.

The investigation into the model's tragic death is ongoing.

“Upon arrival, officers located an adult male who was deceased," Police said.

“SMPD detectives are investigating the death as a suspected overdose. At this time, there is no indication of foul play. The investigation remains ongoing," the department continued.

Prior to death, Presley had spoken several times about her struggles with mental health issues. Earlier this year, he underwent ibogaine treatment in Mexico.

“I was absolutely terrified, and I knew I would be again if I ever had to face something like this," Presley said at that time. “I knew why I was there. I faced what I had been running from."
