On the evening of May 12, emergency services were dispatched to a residence near Gilbert and Riggs roads in Chandler, Arizona, following reports of a child drowning. Upon arrival, Chandler Police officers found a 3-year-old boy unresponsive in the backyard pool. They immediately initiated CPR until Chandler Fire Department paramedics arrived and took over care. The child was first taken to Chandler Regional Hospital and later airlifted to Phoenix Children’s Hospital, where he remains in critical condition. 

Although the authorities have not released the child's name, online communities quickly identified him as Trigg, the son of TikTok influencer Emilie Kiser. Emilie, 23, is known for her family-oriented content on TikTok, where she shares lifestyle tips, cleaning routines, and moments with her husband, Brady, and their two children, Trigg and newborn daughter Eloise. 

The incident has sparked widespread concern and support across social media platforms. Fans and fellow influencers have flooded Emilie's recent posts with messages of hope and prayers for Trigg's recovery. Despite the outpouring of support, the Kiser family has not released an official statement regarding the incident.FingerLakes1

This tragedy underscores the importance of pool safety, especially for families with young children. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), drowning is one of the leading causes of accidental death among children aged 1 to 4 in the United States. Experts recommend multiple layers of protection, including pool fencing, alarms, and vigilant supervision, to prevent such accidents.

As the Kiser family navigates this difficult time, the community continues to rally around them, offering support and raising awareness about the critical importance of water safety.
