Authorities have launched an investigation into the death of influencer Emilie Kiser's 3-year-old son Trigg in relation to a drowning incident at her Arizona home.
Trigg was initially found unresponsive and succumbed to injuries that had previously left him hospitalized in critical condition last Monday (May 12). Authorities said they wouldn't release any additional details about the child's condition out of respect to the Kiser family's privacy while extending their sympathies publicly, however, an investigation into the incident is ongoing.
The Chandler Fire Department had previously told Arizona's 12 News that a 3-year-old boy was in critical condition last Wednesday (May 14), but hadn't revealed his name publicly. First responders arrived at Kiser's home and performed lifesaving efforts immediately after finding the child unconscious.
Trigg was rushed to a nearby medical facility, where he was later airlifted to Phoenix Children's Hospital.
Kiser, 26, has amassed more than 3.1 million followers on TikTok and 1.2 million followers on Instagram by sharing videos of her daily life. Many of her followers suspected something was wrong when they noticed she had recently stopped sharing posts on social media, especially after she failed to respond to their concerns.
Kiser and her husband, Brady, announced Trigg's birth in July 2021 and recently welcomed a second son, Teddy, earlier this year.
"Love my boys🥺🦋 Hope everyone had the best Easter🐇," Kiser wrote in a photo of herself, her husband and their two sons on Easter Sunday (April 20).
