Influencer Emilie Kiser’s spouse might be charged with felony child abuse following their 3-year-old son Trigg’s tragic drowning in an Arizona backyard pool.
The Chandler Police Department announced on X that they had completed the probe concerning Trigg’s demise on May 18. They stated that “after a comprehensive evaluation of the evidence, investigators have proposed a Class 4 felony charge of child abuse against Brady Kiser.”
The case has been submitted to the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office for review.
Police and the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Wednesday.
Trigg passed away six days after being discovered unresponsive in a backyard pool. According to NBC affiliate KPNX in Phoenix, the drowning incident took place at the Kiser residence, and Trigg remained hospitalized in a critical condition until his passing.
Brady Kiser told police that he was distracted by the couple’s infant son when Trigg went outside to play, according to a search warrant affidavit obtained by KPNX. He said he lost sight of Trigg for a few minutes and then went outside to check on him, and that’s when he found the boy unconscious in the pool.
Brady Kiser, who said his wife was out with friends at the time, called 911.
Emilie Kiser, who has built millions of followers across TikTok and Instagram with mom and wife content, has not publicly commented on the death of her son. In May, she filed a lawsuit against multiple Maricopa County public offices to keep records of her son’s death private. A judge temporarily blocked the release of records last month.
Her attorney did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Wednesday.
