Well-known social media influencer Emilie Kiser has captured the hearts of millions with her honest and heartfelt content about family life and motherhood. Over the years, her followers have watched her grow as she built a life with her husband, Brady, and shared glimpses of their growing family.

In July 2021, the couple welcomed their first child, a son named Trigg, who quickly became a beloved part of Emilie's content.

However, nearly four years later, in May 2025, troubling rumors began to circulate online, suggesting that something incredibly tragic may have happened to the young boy. Here's what we know so far.

On Sunday, May 18, 2025, heartbreak struck in Chandler, Ariz., when a three-year-old boy was pronounced dead after being found unresponsive in a backyard swimming pool. The Chandler Fire Department confirmed the devastating incident to KPNX-TV.

The child has since been identified as Trigg Kiser, the young son of popular social media influencer Emilie Kiser. According to reports, the drowning occurred at a home belonging to Emilie on Monday, May 12. Emergency crews were dispatched to the home, located on the 5000 block of Ashley Drive near Chandler Heights and Gilbert roads.

According to officials, Chandler police officers were the first to arrive at the scene. Upon entering the residence, they found the little boy unconscious after being pulled from the backyard pool.

First responders immediately began life-saving measures. Paramedics from the Chandler Fire Department arrived shortly afterward to assist, and Trigg was taken to Chandler Regional Hospital. He was later flown to Phoenix Children's Hospital, where he remained for six days in critical condition before he succumbed to his injuries.

"Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with the child's family and loved ones during this unimaginable time," Chandler Police Department spokesperson Sonu Wasu said in a statement, per People.
