Influencer Emilie Kiser’s 3-year-old son, Trigg, has tragically passed away.
According to the Chandler, Arizona Police Department, the child died on Sunday, May 18. Trigg had been pulled from a backyard pool on the evening of Monday, May 12.
Authorities confirmed the incident remains under investigation. “Out of respect for the family’s privacy, no additional details will be released until the investigation is closed,” the police said.
The Chandler Fire Department told Arizona’s 12 News that officers arrived first at the home and began performing CPR on the unconscious boy before firefighters took over. Trigg was then airlifted to Phoenix Children’s Hospital in critical condition.
Although the boy’s identity was initially not disclosed, speculation quickly spread online linking the incident to Kiser’s son. Fans noticed Emilie Kiser, a popular Arizona-based influencer, had not posted on TikTok for several days.
“Emily, I hope you are okay. I feel sick,” one follower wrote on her recent TikTok, which featured Trigg, her newborn son Teddy, and her husband Brady. Other comments expressed hope that the rumors were false and sent messages of love and support.
Emilie Kiser, who has 3.1 million TikTok followers and over 1 million on Instagram, is known for sharing relatable content about motherhood and family life. She and her husband Brady welcomed Trigg in July 2021.
In September 2024, the couple announced they were expecting their second child. They recently celebrated the birth of their youngest son, Teddy, in March, sharing the joyful news on Instagram.
“We GOTTA BABY GROWING,” Kiser wrote alongside a photo of the family with a sonogram. “We cannot wait to add another angel to our family. Whatever you are, we love you so much already.”
