The Chandler, Arizona community and followers across social media are mourning the heartbreaking loss of Trigg Kiser, the young son of popular TikTok content creator Emilie Kiser. Trigg passed away in a tragic drowning accident in Chandler, Arizona, leaving family, friends, and countless online supporters devastated by the sudden and unimaginable loss.
According to preliminary reports, the accident occurred on Sunday, May 12, 2024. Emergency services were dispatched after Trigg was found unresponsive in a residential pool.
Despite immediate efforts to revive him and emergency medical care, Trigg sadly passed away shortly thereafter. The incident is being treated as a tragic accident, and authorities have not released further details as the family asks for privacy during this extremely difficult time.
Trigg was known to many through Emilie Kiser’s widely followed TikTok account, where she regularly shared heartwarming glimpses into family life, motherhood, and parenting.
Emilie and her husband had cultivated a supportive and positive online presence, and young Trigg was often seen in the videos bringing joy and laughter to thousands. His playful spirit, infectious smile, and bright personality made him a beloved figure to people around the world.
In a brief and emotional message shared online, Emilie expressed the family’s devastation: “Our hearts are completely broken. We lost our sweet boy, Trigg, and we are still in shock. We ask for your prayers, kindness, and privacy as we try to survive the unimaginable.”
The post was met with an outpouring of support from followers, fellow content creators, and parents who have come to know and love the Kiser family.
