Influencer Emilie Kiser’s husband, Brady Kiser, could be slapped with child abuse charges following their 3-year-old son’s drowning, police said.
Trigg, the young son of the TikTok star, died days after he was found unresponsive in a swimming pool at the family’s Arizona home in May.
It emerged last month that Brady, who was home at the time of their child’s death, told investigators he was “distracted” by the couple’s newborn son as their 3-year-old drowned in their uncovered backyard pool.
On Tuesday, the Chandler Police Department announced that the investigation into Trigg’s death had been completed.
“We have completed our investigation into the tragic drowning of three-year-old Trigg Kiser,” the department wrote on X. “After a thorough review of the evidence, we have submitted the case to the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office for further review and any potential prosecutorial decisions.”
The statement also revealed that investigators recommended that Brady be tried for a Class 4 felony charge of child abuse.
The case will now be looked over by the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office, which will decide on appropriate charges, if any.
The update comes nearly two months after Trigg’s death on May 18.
Police officials confirmed that the child had succumbed to his injuries following the ordeal, which had left him hospitalized in critical condition on May 12.
On May 27, the social media star filed a lawsuit in Arizona Superior Court for Maricopa County requesting that all records of her son’s death be out of public view — including distressing footage.
The mommy blogger, 26, was out with friends when her son fell into the pool at the family’s home, where her husband discovered the tot unresponsive.
On June 3, a judge had granted her temporary confidentiality on her larger request for privacy. Records will remain sealed until a ruling on the larger privacy issue takes place.
Official documents obtained by The Post state that Trigg died in an “accidental drowning” at the family’s home.

In the original filing, Kiser’s lawyer said the family “desperately want to grieve in private, but sadly, the public will not let them.”
Her attorney added that the boy’s death “has become a media frenzy.”
Speaking to cops last month, Brady said he allowed Trigg to go play in the backyard — but that he was “soon distracted” by the couple’s infant son — and lost track of the 3-year-old, according to AZ Central.
The father of two said he had his back turned for “three to five” minutes before he saw Trigg floating and unresponsive in the backyard pool.
The pair said it was “not uncommon” for Trigg to play in the backyard and that they have a cover for the pool, which they neglected to utilize on the fateful day.
