Emilie Kiser Marks Six Months Since Son’s Drowning With Urgent Pool-Safety Plea

Overview

• In a Nov. 12 Instagram post, Kiser honored 3-year-old Trigg six months after his death and urged parents to watch children at all times and to “get a pool fence.”
• She advised installing a fence rather than relying on a cover or net, adding recommendations for pool alarms, extra locks, automatic door closers, and early swim lessons such as ISR from six months.
• The Chandler Police Department report says the pool cover had been removed for cleaning and no gate or barrier was in place, with video showing Trigg unsupervised for more than nine minutes and in the water for about seven.
• Brady Kiser initially told police he lost sight of Trigg for three to five minutes, a timeline later contradicted by the video evidence cited in the police report.
• In August, a Maricopa County judge removed two pages from the police report after prosecutors said there was no likelihood of convicting Brady, and some records remain sealed; Trigg was found unresponsive on May 12 and died six days later at Phoenix Children’s Hospital.
