Emilie Kiser, a popular TikTok and Instagram influencer, is grieving the heartbreaking loss of her three-year-old son, Trigg, who tragically drowned in a backyard swimming pool in Chandler, Arizona.
According to the Chandler Police Department, the incident occurred last Monday when Trigg was found unresponsive in a private residential pool. He was first taken to a nearby hospital before being airlifted to a children’s facility in Phoenix for specialized treatment.
Despite medical efforts, Trigg passed away, with the family confirming his death on Sunday, May 18 — nearly a week after the accident.
Authorities have expressed their condolences to the family but noted that no additional details will be released until the conclusion of the ongoing investigation.
Just days before the tragedy, Emilie shared sweet moments of her sons — Trigg and newborn baby Theodore — on her social media platforms, where she has amassed a combined following of over 4 million people. Fans first grew concerned after Emilie abruptly stopped posting, prompting an outpouring of love and support once news of Trigg’s passing became public.
Messages have flooded her social media pages: “We are all wrapping our arms around you and your boys,” one follower wrote. “How awful, life is so unfair,” another added. “You and your family are so loved,” said a supporter.
Emilie and her husband, Brady, welcomed their second son, Theodore, on March 29. In a previous post celebrating his birth, Emilie shared her deep joy and gratitude: “I am so grateful for a smooth delivery, a healthy baby, and the best husband,” she wrote. “The love I have for my boys is infinite.”
In another TikTok update shortly after Theodore’s arrival, Emilie expressed how complete their family felt: “There are no words to describe finally meeting Teddy… We have been soaking up every second as a family of FOUR.”
At this time, Emilie has not made a public statement regarding Trigg’s death, but her community continues to surround her with compassion and support during this unimaginable loss.
