Executive Summary
Five things this data is telling you

Model Presley Gerber, son of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, died at 27. His death was the most-read celebrity story of the week: sadness ran 5.73× above baseline and appears in 95% of the 1,283 articles.

02Alongside the grief, love ran at 3.82×: tributes, Cindy Crawford's 'so proud' message from two months earlier, and coverage of his bond with his sister Kaia.
03Curiosity sat at just 0.27× and excitement was absent. The coverage is almost entirely about mourning, not speculation.
04A smaller thread covers the circumstances of his death: the rehab facility, his public statements about recovery, and the police investigation. Disgust (1.24×) is the only other emotion above baseline, and it concentrates here.
05It was also the week's highest-attention story, at 1.74× the average impressions per article of this week's five.
