The online community is mourning the heartbreaking loss of three-year-old Trigg Kiser, son of TikTok influencer Emilie Kiser, who passed away days after being found unconscious in a backyard pool in Chandler, Arizona.
Chandler Police confirmed on Sunday that Trigg, the toddler son of Emilie and her husband Brady Kiser, succumbed to his injuries after a devastating drowning incident last Monday near Chandler Heights and Cooper Roads.
First responders arrived at the scene to find CPR already underway. Trigg was initially rushed to Chandler Regional Hospital in critical condition and later airlifted to Phoenix Children’s Hospital, where he tragically passed away.
The Kiser family has requested privacy as the police investigation continues.
Authorities have stated that no further updates will be shared until the investigation is closed.
Emilie Kiser, who boasts over 3.1 million TikTok followers and another million on Instagram, had won over fans by documenting her family life, motherhood journey, and relatable daily routines.
Concern began mounting when Emilie abruptly stopped posting, with her last TikTok — a sweet morning routine video featuring Trigg, newborn son Teddy, and Brady — flooded with emotional support from followers.

“You’re a good mom. Brady is a good dad. Nothing can change that,” one user wrote. Another commented, “May God wrap His arms around you!!”
Emilie and Brady welcomed Trigg in July 2021, and their second son, Teddy, was born just two months ago in March 2025.
Emilie had celebrated his birth with heartfelt posts about family love and gratitude for her growing family.
Officials have extended their deepest sympathies to the Kisers during what they called an "unimaginable time."
