A heavyhearted Rande Gerber was seen paying another visit to the Hollywood Hills home of his late son Presley.

The businessman, 64, arrived at the residence on Friday in a black Range Rover and walked up to the front door with his head down and covered by a baseball cap, according to photographs obtained by the Daily Mail.

He was dressed in a blue T-shirt, white shorts and blue sneakers.

His wife, Cindy Crawford, 60, did not appear to be with him, but he was joined by a male companion.

It’s the second time this week that Gerber has been to the house following Presley’s shock death at 27 of a suspected overdose.

Both he and Crawford were seen leaving the property together on Monday, the day after Presley died at an upscale rehab facility in the high-end neighborhood of Santa Monica, California.

Gerber’s latest visit comes amid news that Presley has been cremated, according to a death certificate obtained by TMZ.

Presley was cremated at the Rose Family Funeral Home, with his occupation being described as an entrepreneur who worked in mental health.

Crawford and Gerber will reportedly keep their son’s ashes at their Malibu home.

While an autopsy has been completed, the cause of death is currently pending investigation as the medical examiner waits for test results, per the outlet.

Sources told TMZ that the family is planning funeral arrangements, and the ceremony will be small.

Loved ones are said to be looking at both Forest Lawn or Malibu Presbyterian Church to hold the funeral within a week.

The family has been supported by close friends since the news of Presley’s tragic passing, including actress Laura Dern and George Clooney.

New details about the circumstances in which Presley’s body was discovered after his heartbreaking death reportedly came into focus this week.

On Wednesday, sources described as being close to the investigation said Presley had allegedly been found in a bedroom at the high-end rehab house on September 20, according to TMZ.

Presley had checked into the facility just the night before he was found dead after going into cardiac arrest.

According to TMZ, the sources with knowledge of the investigation alleged that Presley’s body was not on the bed, but instead was found nearby in the room, though they did not specify an exact location.

The sources additionally told the publication that the potentially deadly narcotic fentanyl has not been a focus of the investigation into Presley’s death at this time.

However, final confirmation of any substances that may have played a role in his death will have to wait until the Medical Examiner’s toxicology report is released.

The Daily Mail previously obtained audio of the 911 emergency dispatch call made from the Santa Monica rehab, in which an automated voice could be heard saying ‘cardiac arrest’ followed by ‘overdose’.

Perhaps the most chilling detail from the 911 dispatch audio is how rapidly Presley’s condition worsened within minutes.

The first call was made on Sunday, September 20, at 9.35am regarding a cardiac arrest; however, just three minutes later it was upgraded to an ‘overdose,’ then, at 9.40am the priority was upped once again as it was ‘upgraded.’

Shortly after the release of the 911 dispatch audio, sources close to the model told TMZ on Tuesday that a physician had been prescribing him ketamine despite knowing his past problems with the drug.

Ketamine can be used to treat drug addiction; however, that is not the use approved by the FDA.

Presley’s close friends are allegedly angry that the doctor had prescribed the dissociative anesthetic to him while knowing that addiction struggles had been a regular problem for him, according to TMZ.

Over the past weekend on Sunday, it was announced that Presley had died following a years-long struggle with drugs, panic attacks and his mental health.

A Santa Monica Police Department spokesperson confirmed to the Daily Mail on Monday that emergency services were called to a luxury rehab Presley had been staying in on Sunday morning – before he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Per TMZ, Presley had been staying in a separate house on the grounds of the LA rehab, and had roommates. It was also claimed Presley had only checked into the rehab on Saturday night, hours before his death.

The model had been open about his decade-long struggle with drug addiction and mental health struggles.

Earlier this year, he posted about having a ‘Pre-ibogaine flood dose’ at a Mexican treatment clinic, a single, high-dose administration of the naturally occurring psychoactive substance ibogaine.

Ibogaine is derived from an African shrub and is reported to help with withdrawal symptoms. The high dose is designed to induce a profound ‘reset.’

Presley’s parents and his sister Kaia, 25, praised him for his ‘courage’ in response to his post about starting the treatment in March.

Crawford commented: ‘You are a warrior! Walked thru the fire to find yourself! So proud!’ while Kaia added: ‘That’s my brother I am so damn proud.’

And his father wrote: ‘I’m so proud of you and your courage. Facing what’s hard takes real strength and watching you find your way back to yourself is everything. I love you so much.’

Last November, Presley revealed he had taken a step back from social media to ‘take care of my own mental health for a bit’.

One month later, he opened up about his personal life in a candid social media video. He started sharing ‘Mental Health Mondays’ videos on his Instagram. In one, he listed the medication he takes for ‘night terrors’ and ‘panic attacks’.

Kaia praised her brother’s willingness to strip away the secrecy surrounding his struggles. Above, Kaia and Presley in 2017 

The tragedy cuts short the life of a model who had seemingly been destined to follow his famous mother into fashion from an early age.

Presley started modeling at age 15 and was featured in campaigns for fashion labels such as Dolce Gabbana and Calvin Klein.

Presley was signed to IMG Models and appeared in a 2018 Pepsi ad with his mother.

He also struggled with mental health at a young age and was arrested for driving under the influence in 2019.

His death comes just weeks after his younger sister Kaia opened up about the enormous toll her brother’s struggles had taken on their famous family – admitting the turmoil had effectively ‘leveled everyone’.

‘When something like that happens in a family, it kind of levels everyone,’ she told Vogue.

Kaia praised her brother’s willingness to strip away the secrecy surrounding his struggles.

‘My parents for most of our lives were very, very private and didn’t share anything – and now we have this absolute teacher, my brother, who says, ‘I’m gonna be very human for everyone.’ There’s only so much you can hide from the world,’ she said.

‘And trying to put a lid on something just makes the person feel like you’re ashamed of them,’ she noted.
