Brady Kiser may face felony charges over son's tragic drowning

In May, in Chandler, Arizona, Brady Kiser's three-year-old son, Trigg Kiser, tragically drowned in the family's backyard pool. Investigators were called to the scene on May 12 after receiving reports of a drowning. Upon arrival, officers found Trigg unconscious and performed CPR before he was transported to local hospitals, where he passed away six days later due to his injuries. Following the investigation, which concluded last week, Chandler Police Department recommended that the Maricopa County Attorney's Office pursue a Class 4 felony charge against Brady Kiser for child abuse resulting from negligence. At the time of the accident, Emilie Kiser, Trigg's mother and a popular TikTok influencer, was out with friends, while Brady was at home caring for Trigg and their newborn, Theodore. The incident has drawn significant media attention not only because of the tragedy but also due to Emilie's social media presence, boasting over 4 million followers. Emilie Kiser has since filed a lawsuit to protect her family's privacy regarding the details surrounding Trigg’s death, highlighting the emotional turmoil the family is facing amidst a media frenzy. She seeks to restrict access to investigative records, stating that the public’s interest is driven more by curiosity than an essential need for transparency. The legal request was prompted by the over 100 public records requests filed after her son's death, many deemed invasive by Emilie and her legal team. As the case develops, the family continues to grieve privately while dealing with the fallout from the public spotlight and potential legal consequences for Brady Kiser.
