The Maricopa County Office of the Medical Examiner recently released details regarding the death of Trigg Kiser, the 3-year-old son of social media influencer Emilie Kiser. The report, completed on May 21, 2025, and made public on August 25, 2026, states that Trigg died from an anoxic brain injury caused by drowning, with the manner of death ruled an accident.

Trigg was found unconscious in the family’s backyard pool on May 12, 2025, and tragically passed away six days later on May 18, 2025. According to police reports, Trigg’s father, Brady Kiser, was supervising him and his younger brother, Teddy, at the time of the incident while Emilie Kiser was out. Video evidence cited in a Chandler Police Department report indicated Trigg was unsupervised in the backyard for over nine minutes and in the pool for approximately seven of those minutes. The pool’s net-like cover, which was typically in place, had been removed for cleaning.

Following the incident, police had recommended a felony child abuse charge against Brady Kiser, but prosecutors did not pursue it, citing a lack of reasonable likelihood of conviction. Emilie Kiser has since publicly stated her forgiveness for her husband, acknowledging that such a tragedy could have occurred under her care as well. The family has since announced they are expecting their third child.
