US EditionEmilie Kiser speaks out for the first time on son's death: 'I should have done more to protect him'
Emilie Kiser acknowledges full responsibility and highlights the lack of a permanent pool fence as a critical factor; child drownings remain a leading cause of accidental death in Arizona.
- On Aug. 28, Emilie Kiser, the TikTok influencer, posted her first public statement since her son's death, taking full accountability and returning to Instagram and TikTok.
- Court records and police reports show Trigg, the 3-year-old son, was pulled unconscious from the backyard pool on May 12, 2025 and died six days later on May 18, with a police report released earlier this month.
- The Chandler Police Department's account notes surveillance footage shows Trigg falling from an inflatable chair, with Brady Kiser as the only adult home, distracted by a bet during the 10 minutes Trigg was outside and seven submerged.
- With the investigation closed on June 2, the Maricopa County Attorney's Office declined to pursue charges against Brady Kiser, and Emilie Kiser filed lawsuits to block release of records related to Trigg's death.
- Moving forward, Emilie Kiser said she will set stricter boundaries online and hopes Trigg's story helps families avoid tragedies, reaching over 4.1 million TikTok and 1.7 million Instagram followers.
