Mummy blogger's 3-year-old son dies after being pulled unresponsive from pool
The 3-year-old son of US social media content creator Emilie Kiser died Sunday in hospital after a May 12 incident in a backyard pool, police in Arizona said.
Chandler police said Trigg Kiser died after he was hospitalised for several days. Authorities responded to a drowning call in Chandler, around 20 miles southeast of Phoenix, where they found a 3-year-old unconscious and being pulled out of a pool, NBC affiliate K PNX of Phoenix reported.
The Chandler Fire Department told KPNX that police officers arrived at the home first and began CPR until firefighters arrived and took over.
The child, now identified as Trigg, was taken to Chandler Regional Hospital, where he remained in critical condition for six days until he died, KPNX reported.
'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 Sunday.
Emilie Kiser, a 26-year-old influencer with nearly 3.4 million TikTok followers, gained popularity for her mum-and-wife lifestyle content. She and her husband, Brady Kiser, recently welcomed their second child, Theodore, in March.
Trigg would have celebrated his fourth birthday on July 14.
Comments have poured in on Emilie Kiser's latest Instagram posts, as followers offer their condolences and support to the family. Kiser has not yet released a statement about her son's death.
'The investigation into the circumstances surrounding this incident remain ongoing,' Wasu said in the police statement Sunday. '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.'
Drowning is the leading cause of death among children ages 1 to 4, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. May is also National Water Safety Month in the US, which brings awareness for drowning prevention and safety resources.

Memory loss and hair falling out in 'clumps': Katie Thurston details impact of cancer treatment
Katie Thurston is suffering memory loss and her hair is coming out in "clumps" amid her cancer treatment. The 34-year-old star is battling stage four cancer and though she is still feeling optimistic, she admitted there are days when she allows herself to feel bad because having the disease "sucks". Speaking in a video shared to Instagram, she said: 'I wanted to do weekly check-ins that are just like uncut, raw emotions of whatever comes to my mind. I just finished my second month of treatment and if you're asking how long treatment is, technically forever. "I am optimistic about medical advancements in the future. Fingers crossed as a stage 4 girly. 'But right now, after finishing two months of my medication, my hair is coming out in an unnatural amount of clumps. Working on that. I'm losing my memory. That's great. Going through customs and them being like, 'Where are you coming from?' And I looked at him and I was like, 'I don't remember. I don't remember.'' The 'Bachelorette' star joked she and her husband Jeff Arcuri got into a "little disagreement" over her memory loss. She added: 'I was like, 'This has happened before.' He was like, 'When?' I was like, 'I don't know but I know it has!' 'We're able to laugh about it now. But yeah, cancer is s***. Sometimes I'm like, 'Stop feeling bad for yourself.' Other times I'm like, 'You're allowed to feel bad for yourself. Cancer f****** sucks.'' Katie is currently having to make "big decisions" about how to treat the cancer in her liver, whether that be through radiation, ablation, histotripsy, and explained medication zoladex - which is used to treat hormone-dependent cancers - didn't work so she is switching to lupron, and if that doesn't prove effective either, she may need to have her ovaries removed. She added: "Not ideal. But the vacation was nice. Now I'm back at it again in New York City trying to live my best life as a f*****cancer patient. "Sorry I'm not going to edit that out. I'm just going to end this because I want it just to be my truth, I guess. Anyway, happy Sunday.' Katie is proud to be a "survivor" amid her treatment. She noted: 'Anyway, it's National Cancer Survivors Day. Every day that I'm alive, I'm a survivor. So go me, I guess.'
