The husband of a TikTok influencer in Arizona will not face charges after their 3-year-old son died in a drowning incident.
While Emilie Kiser was spending time with friends, her husband, Brady, was at home with their newborn, Theodore, and their 3-year-old, Trigg, who tragically drowned, as reported by Fox 10. According to fire department officials, Trigg was discovered unresponsive in the pool of the family’s backyard in Chandler, Arizona.
“Chandler PD were the first to arrive on the scene and discovered the 3-year-old boy unconscious after being pulled from the backyard pool. Officers initiated CPR, and firefighters continued patient care upon their arrival,” stated the fire department officials.
At the time, Brady explained to the police that he had only looked away for “three to five minutes” before finding his son in the pool. Tragically, Trigg passed away six days afterward.

“Every case submitted to the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office is evaluated using the same standard: whether there is a ‘reasonable likelihood of conviction.’ After careful review of the evidence submitted by Chandler PD, it was determined this case does not meet that standard. MCAO’s review of the case involved the attorneys assigned to it, along with highly experienced senior attorneys and the County Attorney herself,” it continued.
The class 4 felony child abuse charge carries a potential penalty of 1 to 3.75 years in prison, but probation is possible.

Emilie previously filed a legal complaint against a list of law enforcement and state agencies, seeking to block the release of investigative and post-mortem records relating to the death of her son.
