Arizona influencer’s husband reportedly was watching their 2 boys at time of tragic drowning

PHOENIX – The husband of social media influencer Emilie Kiser reportedly was watching the couple’s two young children at their Chandler home when one of the boys drowned in their backyard pool last month.

The Arizona Republic obtained search warrant applications about the drowning tragedy and reported details Monday about what Kiser’s husband told police.

The newspaper reported that Emilie Kiser was out with friends on May 12, leaving Brady Kiser to watch 3-year-old Trigg and an infant born earlier this year at their home near Chandler Heights and Cooper roads.

Brady Kiser reportedly said he was distracted by the baby and lost sight of the older boy for several minutes before finding him in the pool.

Trigg was unconscious when emergency responders arrived. He died after nearly a week in a hospital on May 18.

Who is Emilie Kiser?

Emilie Kiser is a social media influencer who amassed millions of online followers, with the largest contingent on TikTok, by sharing content about things like parenting, fashion and her daily routines.

Many of her more recent posts were about her recent pregnancy and giving birth to her second child.

According to NBC News, she filed a lawsuit last month to keep public records about her son’s death from being released, citing “a media frenzy.”

So far this year, Trigg is the only child to die in a drowning incident in Maricopa and Pinal counties, according to Children’s Safety Zone tracking.
