Emilie Kiser's husband was investigated after her son's death. This is the outcome.

Emilie Kiser, a popular TikTok content creator, has gone through what no mum should, after her three-year-old son, Trigg, drowned in the family's backyard pool.

On May 12, 2025, Trigg was found unresponsive in the water at the family's home in Chandler, Arizona. At the time, he was being cared for by his father, Brady Kiser, who told police he had been tending to the couple's newborn, Theodore. He said he'd lost sight of Trigg for approximately three to five minutes, according to People.

Brady said he believed Trigg had gone inside the house, but later discovered him unresponsive in the pool. He said he immediately called emergency services and performed CPR until paramedics arrived.

Trigg was first taken to Chandler Regional Medical Centre and later transferred to Phoenix Children's Hospital, People reported.

After six days in intensive care, Trigg died from his injuries on May 18.

Chandler Police ruled the death an accidental drowning, according to Rolling Stone. But on July 15, the department recommended charging Brady Kiser with a Class 4 felony for child abuse, based on allegations of negligence.

The case was then passed to the Maricopa County Attorney's Office, who have since determined not to proceed with prosecution.

In a statement, Maricopa County attorney Rachel Mitchell said Brady would not be charged because there was "no reasonable likelihood of conviction".

"Surveillance video from outside the home showed how the drowning occurred and the actual timeline of events," the statement continued.

"In order to convict a person of this charge, the state has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt to a unanimous jury that the person failed to perceive a substantial and unjustifiable risk, and that failure to perceive the risk was a gross deviation from the standard of care a reasonable person would show.

"Every case submitted to the Maricopa County Attorney's Office is evaluated using the same standard: whether there is a 'reasonable likelihood of conviction'. After careful review of the evidence submitted by Chandler PD, it was determined this case does not meet that standard."

Following the attorney office's decision, an attorney for Brady said he was "grateful to law enforcement and the county attorney for conducting a thorough investigation and confirming that this was a tragic accident."

"Brady remains in the midst of the grieving process and is thankful to be with his family as they heal together. We appreciate the compassion and support shown during this difficult time," he said, per Today.

After her son's death, Emilie filed legal action to block the release of public records related to the incident, including police reports, 911 audio, autopsy findings, and body camera footage, according to Rolling Stone.

Her lawyers said that the public release of such material would cause significant emotional trauma and infringe on the family's right to grieve privately.

The court granted temporary confidentiality on June 3 while the matter is under further review, People confirmed.

In the weeks following the tragedy, more than 100 public records requests have reportedly been filed, and Emilie has taken steps to limit public commentary on her social media accounts, including disabling comments on TikTok, according to People.
