The Kiser family is grieving following a devastating tragedy.

TikToker Emilie Kiser and her husband Brady Kiser’s son Trigg Kiser died May 18, six days after he was rescued from a pool in the backyard of the family’s home in Arizona, local authorities confirmed to USA Today. He was 3.

Chandler Police Department told the outlet that officers responded to a drowning call at a residence on May 12, for a child who had been pulled unconscious out of a backyard pool. Both police and firefighters administered CPR on the scene, before taking Trigg to Chandler Regional Hospital. The toddler was later transferred to Phoenix Children’s Hospital.

An investigation around the circumstances of the incident is still ongoing, Chandler Police Department’s public information officer Sonu Wasu told USA Today adding that further details will be released when the investigation is complete.

Trigg also appeared with his baby brother in his mom’s heartfelt Mother’s Day post.  

“Forever grateful that I get to be a momma,” Emilie wrote May 11 alongside a series of pictures and videos of her sons. “Happy Mother’s Day.”

In a separate video, Emilie gushed about spending her first Mother’s Day as a mom of two.

“I posted little montage videos this morning from having Trigg to him growing up, to now having Teddy,” she said in the May 11 video. “And I seriously cannot believe that this Mother’s Day I have two kids. Not only two kids, two boys. Seriously, if you would have told me that when I was younger I would have never believed you.”

“Being a mom is truly the most amazing thing,” she added. “While simultaneously being scary, terrifying, hard, beautiful, amazing. Literally all of the emotions in one. Seriously just so grateful to be a mom.”
