REVEALED: TikTok star’s son drowned in pool while mom was out and dad was watching end of basketball game he had bet $25 on

The husband of a social media influencer left his three-year-old son unsupervised for nearly ten minutes before the child drowned in the family’s backyard pool, a police report has revealed.

The incident, which occurred in May in Chandler, Arizona, involved Emilie and Brady Kiser’s son, Trigg. Brady, 28, was caring for Trigg and the couple’s newborn son while Emilie was away. He initially told police he had lost sight of Trigg for only three to five minutes, but surveillance footage reviewed by the Chandler Police Department showed the boy alone outside for almost ten minutes, “and in the water for about 7 of those minutes.”

Officers also noted discrepancies in Brady’s account of where he was during the tragedy. While he claimed at first to be seated in a chair looking out at the yard, video evidence showed otherwise. When pressed, Brady admitted he was “sitting on the couch” watching an NBA playoff game and had placed a $25 bet on its outcome.

“Brady’s statements do not match what is seen on the video; he did not accurately describe one thing [Trigg] did after he went outside,” the police report stated. “This leads to the conclusion that Brady was not aware of what [Trigg] was doing and was not watching him.”

The report added, “The combination of these factors led to drowning, and a remedy to any of the contributing circumstances could have prevented the outcome.”

Despite police recommending a felony child abuse charge, prosecutors declined to pursue criminal charges. The release of the report also comes as Emilie Kiser sought to have case details sealed. Maricopa County Superior Court on Friday ruled that two pages would remain sealed. 

According to the Daily Mail, the ruling stated that the report’s contents would only “satisfy morbid curiosity” and “would risk exploitation by bad actors.” Emilie argued to the judge that allowing the play-by-play of the tragic incident would lead social media users to create AI recreations that would go viral.
