The 6-year-old son of a Mr. Olympia judge died after he was struck by a vehicle near his family’s home in Temecula, California, on Saturday night.
The fundraiser says Preston is survived by his parents and a sister named Scarlett who are all mourning an “insurmountable tragedy.”
“To know Preston is to love him. Always with a smile on his face he brings joy to everyone in his life,” Chesbro wrote. She said people in the community had reached out to ask how they could support the family.
“At this point, everything is 100 [percent] pointing to an accident,” CHP Officer Jesus Garcia, a spokesperson for the agency’s Temecula office, told the Times. Garcia said the information available to investigators did not suggest foul play.
The CHP is continuing its investigation and reviewing video from the Cybertruck, along with any other available evidence, Garcia said. The Times reported that the vehicle was not in self-driving mode when the collision occurred, citing the CHP report.
The coroner’s office names the CHP’s Temecula office as the investigating agency and directs inquiries about the case to that office.
Chesbro said the GoFundMe was established in response to people offering help after Preston’s death. Its page says donations will assist the family with funeral costs and living expenses.
