The 3-year-old son of social media influencer Emilie Kiser died from drowning injuries on Sunday several days after being found unresponsive in the family’s backyard pool.
The Chandler (Arizona) Police Department said it received a drowning call around 7 p.m. on May 12. At the scene, a 3-year-old boy was being pulled out of a pool. Police officers who were first to the scene attempted CPR until firefighters arrived and took over attempting life-saving measures.
The child, later identified as Trigg Kiser, was taken to Chandler Regional Hospital and later flown to Phoenix Children’s Hospital, where he remained in critical condition for days until he died on Sunday.
Chandler is around 20 miles southeast of Phoenix.
The boy was set to turn 4 years old in July.
