\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\t\t\tNew details have continued to emerge following the death of influencer Emilie Kiser and husband Brady Kiser\u2019s 3-year-old son, Trigg. Trigg was pulled unconscious from the family\u2019s backyard pool in Arizona on May 12, 2025, while dad Brady and brother Teddy were at home. (Emilie and Brady, who tied the knot in 2020, welcomed Teddy [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\u201cI take full accountability as Trigg\u2019s mother, and I know I should have done more to protect him,\u201d she wrote. \u201cOne of the hardest lessons I carry is that a permanent pool fence could have saved his life, and it\u2019s something I will never overlook again. I hope amidst this pain, Trigg\u2019s story will help prevent other children and families from suffering the same loss.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kiser then thanked their family for their \u201cunconditional love\u201d and to her audience for the \u201ckind messages.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe only way through grief is to keep going minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day and every moment since that day I\u2019ve done my best to keep picking myself up,\u201d she wrote. \u201cWhen I started on social media in 2021 as a new mom, my goal was to connect with other moms and find a community. I have found that and so much more through all of you. I found a community, a hobby I love and a job I am so grateful for.\u201d<\/p>\n
She continued, \u201cI have always been my authentic self on social media and tried my best to share my everyday life honestly, while also being mindful of what I didn\u2019t choose to share. I now have seen through this tragedy how relationships online lack boundaries, especially in protecting children\u2019s privacy. Moving forward, I will be establishing more boundaries with what I share online.\u201d<\/p>\n
