The tragic drowning of influencer Emilie Kiser’s 3-year-old son is complicated by the father’s inconsistent focus and differing stories, which form a troubling timeline.

Police records reveal the boy was unsupervised near the family pool for more than nine minutes before he fell into the water.

The tragedy happened at the family’s home in Chandler, Arizona,  a suburb of Phoenix, on May 12.

Investigators say Brady Kiser, 28, was looking after his two young children while his wife was out with friends about 20 minutes away.

He was inside with their newborn, Theodore, when toddler Trigg wandered into the backyard.

Phone records show Kiser had placed a $25 sports bet with DraftKings at 5:14 pm, about 75 minutes before the drowning, the New York Post reported.

The wager was on Celtics star Jayson Tatum scoring 40 points in Game 4 of the Knicks-Celtics playoff series.

Tatum scored 42 points, earning Kiser a $102.50 payout.

Surveillance video captured Trigg playing on an inflatable chair near the pool around 6:32 pm.

The footage shows him tripping and falling into the water, where he remained for seven minutes.

Kiser found his son unresponsive at 6:39 pm and called 911 two minutes later.

Police arrived to find officers performing CPR after Trigg was moved inside.

TikToker Emilie Kiser shared tragic final video of son Trigg, 3, hours before accident that led to boy’s death

The toddler was rushed to Chandler Regional Hospital, where he died six days later on May 18.

In his first police interview, Kiser claimed Trigg had been unsupervised for about five minutes.

But investigators determined it was more than 10 minutes, contradicting his statement.

“I didn’t have a clock… it wasn’t minutes, it was moments,” Kiser told police at the time.

Who is Emilie Kiser?

  • Emilie Kiser, 26, is a TikTok influencer with over 4 million followers.
  • She’s known for sharing everyday moments from her life as a mom and wife.
  • Her posts often featured her husband Brady, their sons Trigg and newborn Theodore, and their family dogs.
  • Trigg was found unresponsive in a pool.
  • He died six days later on May 18 and would have turned four on July 14.

Detectives said his answers didn’t match the surveillance video and that he couldn’t describe his son’s movements before the fall.

A report concluded Kiser’s attention was “divided” and he was “not watching at all during the critical times.”

The pool’s protective mesh net, a Katchakid, was not in place, though the family usually kept it on.

The Kisers told police it had been removed for swimming and never replaced.

Emilie Kiser later petitioned an Arizona court to remove two pages from the police report before it was released publicly, AZ Central reported.

Although officers suggested charging Brady with Class 4 felony child abuse due to criminal negligence, prosecutors determined there was insufficient evidence to move forward.
