Influencer Emilie Kiser's husband dodges criminal charges after toddler drowning
Influencer Emilie Kiser's husband Brady will not face criminal charges in the drowning death of their three-year-old son, Trigg. Trigg Kiser fell into the pool at their home in Phoenix , Arizona, on May 12 and died in hospital a week later. His mother, Emilie, 26, regularly posted on social media until the accident, and her sudden silence had many fans speculating about what might have happened. Their questions were answered on May 18 when police in Phoenix, Arizona, confirmed that Trigg had died, causing an outpouring of grief from Emilie's 4.1million TikTok followers. A decision to not pursue charges was announced on Friday by Arizona's Maricopa County Attorney's Office — two weeks after Chandler Police recommended a felony child abuse charge in connection with the incident. 'Every case submitted to the Maricopa County Attorney's Office is evaluated using the same standard: whether there is a 'reasonable likelihood of conviction,' Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell said in a statement. 'After careful review of the evidence submitted by Chandler PD, it was determined this case does not meet that standard.' Prosecutors emphasised that, to pursue a child abuse charge, they would need to prove that Brady, 28, 'failed to perceive a substantial and unjustifiable risk' and that his actions were a 'gross deviation from the standard of care a reasonable person would show.' His attorney, Flynn Carey, said in a statement that his client is grateful the case was thoroughly reviewed and classified as a tragic accident. 'We are grateful to law enforcement and the county attorney for conducting a thorough investigation and confirming that this was a tragic accident. 'Brady remains in the midst of the grieving process and is thankful to be with his family as they heal together,' Carey said. 'We appreciate the compassion and support shown during this difficult time.' Authorities say Brady was home alone with Trigg and the couple's newborn son, Theodore, when the toddler accessed the backyard pool and was found then unresponsive. At the time of the incident Emilie was not home. According to police, she had been out with friends. While the couple has not spoken publicly since their son's death, Emilie's lawyer later issued a statement that read: 'Emilie is going through a parent's worst nightmare right now.' She went on to confirm how Trigg had died, adding that it was accidental, before saying: 'Emilie is trying her best to be there for her surviving son, two-month-old Theodore. But every day is a battle.' More Trending Emilie, who built up an online following with updates on children and family life, released the statement as part of a bid to block the release of records surrounding Trigg's death. The family said it had become a media frenzy with more than 100 public record requests. Emilie and Brady welcomed Trigg in July 2021 and their second son, Theodore, in September 2024. Got a story?

Influencer Emilie Kiser's husband could face child abuse charges as son, 3, dies
A social media influencer's husband could face child abuse charges relating to the death of their three-year-old son. In May this year, Emilie Kiser and her husband, Brandy's son, Trigg, died. Police were called to their home just outside of Phoenix on May 12 following reports of a possible drowning involving a minor. The youngster, three, was given CPR on scene before paramedics arrived. He was rushed to the hospital in a critical condition and was later flown to Phoenix Children's Hospital due to the injuries. However, Trigg sadly died just six days later, it was announced. Earlier this week, Chandler Police announced that they had completed a thorough review into the death of young Trigg. The case has now been submitted to the Maricopa County Attorney's Office for review. In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, the force said: "The Chandler Police Department has completed its investigation into the tragic drowning of three-year-old Trigg Kiser, who died May 18, 2025, after being found unresponsive in his family's backyard pool. Following a thorough review of the evidence, investigators have recommended a Class 4 felony charge of child abuse against Brady Kiser. "(ARS 13-3623) The case has now been submitted to the Maricopa County Attorney's Office for review." A Class 4 child abuse felony is an offence committed with criminal negligence and can be committed intentionally or knowingly, according to Arizona law. He could face up to three years behind bars if he's convicted. Since the tragic incident, Emilie, who boasts 1.7 million followers on Instagram and 4.1 million on TikTok, has filed a lawsuit demanding that records about her son not be disclosed. She said she is "going through a parent's worst nightmare right now," following the "heartbreaking accidental drowning" of Trigg. The lawsuit adds: "Emilie is trying her best to be there for her surviving son…but every day is a battle." It goes on to say: "Emilie and her family desperately want to grieve in private, but sadly, the public will not let them. Trigg's death has become a media frenzy." Following the death of young Trigg, over 100 public records requests have been filed with the city of Chandler and the Maricopa County Medical Examiner's Office. However, the lawsuit does acknowledge Arizona's Public Records Law, which gives the public the right to view records which are kept by public officers, adding: "This right of access is not absolute." Lawyers for the Kisers go on to say that Arizona law also "recognises that family members have a compelling privacy interest in preventing the disclosure of graphic materials related to a loved one's injuries or death." Brady told police that he had been distracted by their son, who was born in March, when Trigg had gone outside to play. He went on to add that he lost sight of their eldest child for a few minutes, and when he stepped outside to check on him, he found Trigg unconscious in the pool. The Mirror has approached Emilie's spokesperson for comment.

Emilie Kiser's Husband Brady Could Face Child Abuse Charge in 3-Year-Old Son's Drowning Death: Police
Emilie Kiser and Brady Kiser's eldest son, Trigg, died after an accidental drowning on Monday, May 12, in Chandler, Ariz. The Chandler Police Department have since investigated into Trigg's death On Tuesday, July 15, the Chandler Police Department recommended that Brady be tried for a felony into Trigg's tragic deathEmilie Kiser's husband, Brady Kiser, could face a child abuse charge in the tragic drowning death of their 3-year-old son, Trigg. On Tuesday, July 15, the Chandler Police Department (CPD) shared an update to X, announcing that the investigation into Trigg's death on Sunday, May 18, was completed. The announcement also shared that the department's investigators recommended that Brady be tried for a Class 4 felony charge of child abuse. The CPD submitted the case to the Maricopa County Attorney's Office for review. After the prosecution reviews the police file, Brady could face the charges mentioned above, and the case will return to the CPD for further investigation. However, the case could also be dropped if the prosecution decides Brady will not face charges. The CPD's referral comes nearly two months after Trigg drowned in the family's backyard pool in Chandler, Ariz., on Monday, May 12. At the time of the drowning, Brady was at home with Trigg and their newborn son, Theodore, while Emilie was out with friends, Brady told Chandler police, per AZ Central. According to CPD search warrant applications, Brady told police he saw the toddler playing near the pool, noting that it was "not uncommon' for Trigg to do so. He also said that the pool usually had a protective cover on it. But as Brady was caring for Theodore, he lost sight of Trigg for three to five minutes. Upon returning to the backyard, that's when he discovered Trigg floating in their backyard pool. Police responded to the scene and performed CPR until firefighters arrived and then assumed control of his medical care. Trigg was taken to Chandler Regional Medical Center and then to Phoenix Children's Hospital in critical condition. The next day, the search warrant applications were created to obtain surveillance footage of the backyard cameras to corroborate Brady's statements to investigators. That same day, Brady was accused by CPD investigators of committing child abuse on the day of Trigg's drowning. Days after Trigg's death, his mother, TikTok influencer Emilie, announced the tragic news to her 4 million followers. Due to Emilie's media persona, she filed a lawsuit on Tuesday, May 27, in Arizona Superior Court for Maricopa County to keep records about Trigg's death out of public view, according to court documents. In the filing, Kiser's lawyer said that she and her family "desperately want to grieve in private, but sadly, the public will not let them," adding that Trigg's death "has become a media frenzy." On June 3, the Arizona Superior Court for Maricopa County ruled in the influencer's favor on a separate motion she filed to keep her personal declaration private. The court order will grant Kiser temporary confidentiality on both her declaration and her larger request for privacy while the court reviews evidence to make a final ruling. At the time, a source told PEOPLE exclusively that Kiser's personal declaration "reflects an intensely personal account of her grief and trauma, submitted to help the court understand her perspective — not for public consumption." "The core legal issues remain fully transparent through public filings by counsel and the court. Emilie's sealed declaration does not hinder the public's understanding of the case or its legal significance," the source says. "Preserving a small measure of privacy in the midst of public scrutiny is a reasonable and compassionate choice given the circumstances." Want to keep up with the latest crime coverage?

Two days later, an insider told PEOPLE that Emilie 'is urging the court to keep private the footage and records related to her young son's death - a deeply personal, and reasonable, plea to prevent the public release of the most traumatic moment of her life.' The source noted that while the influencer's "public profile does not negate her right to privacy," it also doesn't "make her son's death a matter for public consumption." Adding, "Public agencies have received over 100+ public records requests for the footage of a toddler's death, which only serves to satisfy morbid curiosity more than any type of justice.' On Wednesday, July 9, the CPD and Maricopa County Office of the Medical Examiner requested an exception to the ruling in order to exchange records and documents with each other, as a result of attempting to conclude their investigations. No ruling has been made public regarding the latest motion, per AZ Central. Read the original article on People
