Presley Gerber Checked Into Rehab Hours Before His Death
Presley Gerber had 'not been doing well' before his death, according to sources.
Presley, who was open about his struggles with mental health and substance abuse, reportedly checked himself into the facility hours before his death on Saturday, September 19, because "he knew he needed help."
"He had not been doing well," a source told Page Six on September 21. "He's always suffered from a huge lack of self-esteem and had trouble accepting his real self and feeling fully confident in who he was as a person."
The insider explained that Presley "seemed a little off in recent weeks... something was just not there."
"Energetically, he didn’t seem like himself," they added, pointing out that Presley "felt like he was lacking purpose in his life" and "hadn't really found his place."
Despite the challenging time, the insider said Presley wanted "so badly to be free of his addictions."
A seperate source hinted that Presley "did not appear sober" when he arrived at the Santa Monica-based facility.
