Police records reveal prior overdose emergency at Presley Gerber's facility

Santa Monica police records indicate that officers were called to the facility on February 18, 2026, after staff expressed concern that a patient was suffering from an overdose. According to reports, the individual—a woman found unresponsive—required five doses of Narcan to regain consciousness. While the woman did not require transport to a hospital, the incident marks a documented emergency at the residence well before Gerber’s arrival.

Gerber died on September 20, 2026, less than 24 hours after checking into the facility. While the official cause of death remains pending from the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner, the circumstances of his admission have faced intense public questioning. Sources allege that Gerber’s support team informed staff he was under the influence of drugs prior to his arrival, yet he was still accepted for residency. Reports suggest that the facility’s admissions officer has since been fired, though facility owner Dr. Reza Nabavi has declined to comment on the allegations or the internal policies of the home.

The case has prompted broader questions regarding the oversight of sober living residences in California. Unlike licensed treatment centers, facilities like Resolutions Living operate under different regulatory standards. Investigators are currently working to determine the circumstances of Gerber’s final hours, including how he may have obtained substances during his stay, as his family continues to mourn.
