Emilie Kiser's lawyer shares emotional statement after her son's death aged 3
Emilie Kiser's lawyer has shared a public message following the death of Kiser's three-year-old son Trigg.
The TikTok star's toddler son died on Sunday, after falling into a swimming pool a week earlier.
Police have launched an investigation into the incident, with the Chandler Arizona Police Department commenting: 'The investigation into the circumstances surrounding this incident remain ongoing. This is still an open investigation.'
Now, in a new statement, Kiser's lawyer – whose name was not reported – commented: 'Emilie is going through a parent's worst nightmare right now.
'She lost her young son, her 3-year-old Trigg Chapman Kiser ('Trigg'), on May 18, 2025, following a heartbreaking accidental drowning at the family's home on May 12, 2025. More Trending
'Emilie is trying her best to be there for her surviving son, two-month-old Theodore. But every day is a battle.'
The statement came as part of a lawsuit to block the release of records surrounding her son's death.
The lawsuit, as seen by Arizona Republic showed Kiser's lawyer stated the family's reasoning for the block: 'The records requested presumably reveal graphic, distressing, and intimate details of Trigg's death that have no bearing on government accountability.
'To allow disclosure in these circumstances would be to turn Arizona's Public Records Law into a weapon of emotional harm, rather than a tool of government transparency.'
