COPS have completed their investigation into the tragic drowning death of TikTok influencer Emilie Kiser’s three-year-old son, Trigg.
In a shocking development, investigators have focused on Brady Kiser, the husband of a 26-year-old mommy blogger, after first responders discovered their toddler unresponsive in their Arizona residence on May 12.
On Tuesday, the Chandler Police Department released a statement announcing it is recommending a felony child abuse charge against Brady.
The department submitted its findings to the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office, which will ultimately decide whether to pursue the charge.
The grieving parents have remained notably silent following the incident where their son, Trigg, fell into the backyard pool at their home in Chandler, a suburb of Phoenix.
The young boy fought for his life for six days before dying on May 18.
Court records indicate that while police initially determined Trigg’s death to be accidental, they began to consider child abuse charges before his passing, according to the Arizona Republic.
Brady told investigators that he was home alone with Trigg and their newborn baby boy Teddy while Emilie was out with friends when tragedy struck, according to police records.
The dad said that he noticed Trigg walking around the pool, which wasn’t normal, before walking away to spend about three to five minutes with Teddy.
When he looked back outside, he saw Trigg floating in the pool, he told detectives.
Cops raced to the scene to perform CPR before firefighters took over and sent him to the hospital.
The little boy was in critical condition until his death.
Emilie amassed millions of followers across Instagram and TikTok by sharing her idyllic snippets of young motherhood and giving lifestyle advice.
She’s asked for privacy through her attorney, and even sued multiple city departments to stop the release of sensitive information about Trigg’s death.
Her attorneys later decided that certain records, like police and medical examiner reports, could be made public, but stressed that her privacy should be considered with each release.
