The DME is in “the early stages of investigating the death of 27-year-old model Presley Gerber and limited information is currently available,” according to a statement from the department.
“A deputy medical examiner performed an examination today and the cause and manner of death have been deferred, which means additional testing and/or studies were requested in order to make a determination.”
They added, “Due to the ongoing death investigation, the DME cannot disclose what testing and/or studies were requested. Deferred cases can take a few months before a cause of death is determined.”
