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: Police recommend charges against influencer's husband Brady after toddler son Trigg drowns
Police have recommended the husband of influencer Emilie Kiser be charged over the drowning death of their toddler son Trigg. Brad Kiser was looking after the three-year-old and the pair's newborn son Theodore when Trigg was discovered floating in the family pool on May 12. Social media star Emilie, who is known for her lifestyle content on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube, was out with friends at the time. Mr Kiser told police he lost sight of the toddler for three to five minutes before he found him, according to search warrant applications obtained by The Arizona Republic. Trigg had gone to the backyard after he had finished eating. Mr Kiser said he saw him playing near the pool, which was not unusual, but was 'soon distracted' by his newborn. Mr Kiser told police the next time he saw Trigg, he was in the pool. He jumped in to save him and called 911. First responders administered CPR at the home before rushing the toddler to the hospital in a critical condition. He died six days later. 'After a thorough review of the evidence, we have submitted the case to the Maricopa County Attorney's Office for further review and any potential prosecutorial decisions,' a statement from the Chandler Police Department read. A felony charge of child abuse was recommended however the Maricopa County Attorney's Office will have the final say on whether any charges are laid. Under Arizona law felony child abuse is when a person who is caring for a child causes them to suffer a physical injury or places them in a situation where they are endangered. A first-time felony offence in Arizona carries a minimum sentence of 1.5 years in prison. In late May, Emilie who has more than 4.6 million followers across her online platforms, launched legal action to bar the public release of records about Trigg's death, claiming they could be used as a 'weapon of emotional harm'. 'Emilie is going through a parent's worst nightmare right now,' the lawsuit read. 'She lost her young son, her three-year-old Trigg Chapman Kiser on May 18, 2025, following a heartbreaking accidental drowning at the family's home on May 12, 2025. 'Emilie is trying her best to be there for her surviving son, two-month-old Theodore. But every day is a battle.' She said more than 100 applications had been made to access the records, which '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.'

The family 'desperately want to grieve in private, but sadly, the public will not let them,' said Emilie's attorney in the original filing. He added that the boy's death has become a 'media frenzy.'
