- Social media influencer Emilie Kiser filed a lawsuit on May 27, 2025, in Maricopa County to block release of records about her 3-year-old son Trigg's drowning death in Chandler, Arizona.
- The lawsuit responds to over 100 public record requests seeking graphic investigative and medical documents following Trigg's pool drowning on May 12 and death on May 18, 2025.
- Records include police and medical examiner reports, security footage, autopsy and death certificate, none of which have been reviewed by Kiser or her legal counsel.

- Authorities continue investigating the open case with no charges filed, while Kiser and her family seek privacy to grieve amid intense media attention and public scrutiny.
