Influencer Emilie Kiser's 3-year-old son dies days after accidental drowning
Six days after initial reports revealed a 3-year-old boy was found unconscious in a swimming pool, Arizona police have confirmed the identity of the child. According to Chandler police spokesperson Sonu Wasu, police first responded to calls of a possible drowning just before 6 p.m. local time Monday, May 12. On Sunday, May 18, AZ Central reported that the young boy is Trigg Kiser, son of popular TikToker Emilie Kiser. As Wasu shared in an initial statement, those at the home performed CPR on the child until first responders arrived at the scene. Trigg is said to have been taken to Chandler Regional Medical Center and then later transferred to Phoenix Children's Hospital. Police and the Maricopa County Office of the Medical Examiner confirmed the news of Trigg's death, according to AZ Central. 'Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with the child's family and loved ones during this unimaginable time,' Wasu said. An investigation into what happened remains ongoing. Trigg was often featured on Emilie Kiser's social media accounts. She and her husband, Brady Kiser, recently welcomed their second child into the world in March. In April, Emilie Kiser shared a sweet video of Trigg meeting his younger brother, Teddy. According to the Children's Safety Network, 3,572 people in the U.S. die from drowning each year, and 945 of them are children. 'Children account for 1 out of 4 drowning deaths.' It's reported that 'most children ages 1 through 4 drown in swimming pools at home,' and it can happen 'quickly and quietly.' The Children's Safety Network reports that 'swimming lessons reduce the risk of drowning in 1- to 4-year-old children by 88%' and an isolated four-sided fence around the pool can reduce the risk of drowning 'by 83%.' Fans have since taken to the comment sections of Emilie Kiser's social media posts to share their condolences. 'Have never been more heartbroken for someone I've never met— you're in our thoughts and prayers. stay strong,' one comment read. 'You and Brady are such amazing, loving parents, and people. Thank you for sharing your life and family with us, I hope you all can heal privately together but know so many of us are thinking of you, and love you,' another commenter added. 'I watched him live the happiest, fullest life filled with endless love and amazing parents. Heartbroken. My heart and prayers with you forever,' shared another. Neither Emilie nor Brady Kiser have issued a public statement.
