Police have launched an investigation following the heartbreaking death of Influencer Emilie kiser’s three year old son .
The toddler, named Trigg, was found unresponsive in a swimming pool at the family’s home in Chandler, Arizona, on May 12, according to the Chandler Police Department. Despite emergency lifesaving efforts, he succumbed to his injuries six days later on May 18.
First responders arrived at the scene near Chandler Heights and Cooper Roads to find CPR already in progress. Paramedics rushed the little boy to a nearby hospital before he was airlifted to Phoenix Children’s Hospital, where he remained in critical condition until his death.
“Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with the child’s family and loved ones during this unimaginable time,” Chandler Police spokesperson Sonu Wasu said in a statement. “The investigation into the circumstances surrounding this incident remain ongoing. This is still an open investigation.”
“Out of respect for the family’s privacy, we will not be releasing additional details until the investigation is closed,” Wasu added.
The influencer and her husband, Brady, welcomed Trigg in July 2021. On his third birthday last summer, Kiser penned on instagram: “We are so lucky to have our Trigg. Happy Birthday to our favorite boy in the whole world, we can’t wait for year 3.”
A sweet photo accompanied the tribute, showing Trigg smiling with a new Hot Wheels collection and balloons spelling out “Happy Birthday.”
Just weeks before the tragedy, Kiser had celebrated becoming a mom for the second time with the birth of their son Teddy in March.
She shared her joy on the social media platform: “We love you so much and our hearts feel like they are going to burst. I am so grateful for a smooth delivery, a healthy baby, and the best husband.” Calling Brady her “rock,” she added: “The love I have for my boys is infinite.”
And, on Mother’s Day, just one day before the drowning, Kiser shared a heartfelt montage featuring both of her children.
“Becoming a mom is the most rewarding job and [privilege] I have and will ever have. It’s beautiful, scary, amazing, hard, and full of bliss all at the same time. Growing up, I always knew I wanted to be a mom, and now I am 26 with two beautiful boys and feel so grateful every single day,” she said.
Later that day, she reflected on her motherhood journey in a tiktok video , saying: “I seriously cannot believe that this Mother’s Day I have two kids. Not only two kids, two boys.”
“Being a mom is truly the most amazing thing, while simultaneously being scary, terrifying, hard, beautiful, amazing. Literally all of the emotions in one. Seriously, just so grateful to be a mom,” she added.
Following news of the tragedy, fans have shared their heartbreak under the mom’s final instagram post, which was made six days before Trigg’s death.
