In a devastating turn of events, Trigg was found unconscious on May 12 and tragically passed away on May 18, as confirmed by police to PEOPLE. It was disclosed that Emilie Kiser was not present at home during the time of the incident. Brady informed investigators, as per the search warrant cited by USA Today, that Emilie was out socializing with friends when the accident took place. The Chandler Police Department expressed their condolences to the family, stating, “Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with the child’s family and loved ones during this unimaginable time.”
Following the heart-wrenching loss, Emilie Kiser sought legal action to keep records of Trigg’s death private. On May 27, she filed a lawsuit in the Arizona Superior Court for Maricopa County to prevent public access to details of the tragedy, including any footage related to the incident. A source close to the family shared with PEOPLE that Emilie filed the lawsuit to shield herself from having to endure the emotional turmoil of reliving the aftermath of her son’s passing.

Emilie’s legal action addressed the numerous requests received by the City of Chandler and the Maricopa County Medical Examiner’s Office for access to records connected to Trigg’s death. Over 100 requests for information were made, prompting Emilie to take steps to preserve her privacy and emotional well-being. The court granted her temporary confidentiality on June 3, safeguarding her personal declaration about her grief and trauma until further decisions are made about her request for privacy.

The ongoing investigation by the authorities into the circumstances surrounding Trigg’s tragic drowning reinforces the need for sensitivity and respect for the family’s privacy. The legal proceedings initiated by Emilie Kiser highlight the challenges faced by families dealing with such profound losses. The community’s support and understanding play a crucial role in allowing the Kiser family to grieve and navigate through this difficult period while maintaining their privacy and emotional well-being.
As the Kiser family copes with the aftermath of this heartbreaking event, their story serves as a reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of cherishing every moment with our loved ones. The resilience shown by Emilie and her family in seeking solace and privacy amidst their grief resonates with many, reflecting the strength and courage required to navigate such profound loss. May their journey towards healing be filled with compassion, support, and understanding from those around them.
