Presley Gerber’s death sparked an investigation into the sober home he checked into before his suspected fatal overdose, but there was not enough evidence to substantiate any wrongdoing, Page Six has learned. A reform advocate, who has no relation to Gerber, filed a formal complaint with the California Department of Health Care Services after the model died on Sept. 20, requesting a full review of the Resolutions Living treatment facility’s practices. The complaint requested that DHCS determine whether the facility was operating “beyond the lawful scope of sober living” and if it accepted an individual who required a “higher level of care” outside of what it could provide when Gerber arrived.

Jonathan Alcorn for CA Post Page Six’s article stating Gerber did not appear sober when he entered the facility was included in the inquiry. “That allegation raises extremely serious questions about his admission, screening, supervision, and level-of-care determination,” the complaint said of the report. The inquiry zeroed in on two questions: “Was an individual reportedly under the influence admitted to a sober living residence that was not authorized to provide the level of care he required, and was Resolutions Living actually providing regulated addiction treatment, detoxification, clinical monitoring, or recovery services beyond the lawful scope of sober housing?” The DHCS ultimately determined the complaints were “not substantiated.” The Department of Health Care Services determined the allegations listed in the complaint were “not substantiated.” presleygerber/Instagram Gerber, shown above, died from a suspected overdose while staying at the facility.
