Arizona Police Probed Drowning of Trigg Kiser

A police report revealed that Trigg Kiser, the 3-year-old son of influencer Emilie Kiser, drowned in the family's Arizona pool on May 12 after being left unsupervised by his father, Brady Kiser, for over nine minutes, with about seven minutes spent in the water. Surveillance footage contradicted Brady's claim that his son was only out of sight for moments and showed he was watching an NBA playoff game and placing a $25 sports bet during the incident. Investigators found that Brady was not supervising Trigg during critical moments, though there was no evidence he saw his son in danger and failed to act. Police recommended a felony child abuse charge against Brady Kiser, but the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office declined prosecution due to insufficient likelihood of conviction. Amid public interest, Emilie Kiser successfully petitioned to redact graphic details from the police report, with a judge agreeing to the request. The case has fueled national debate on parental supervision, pool safety, and privacy in high-profile tragedies.
