Emilie Kiser, the well-known social media and lifestyle influencer, has released a public statement, the first since her 3-year-old son, Trigg, drowned in the family’s backyard pool.
“Loss of this magnitude feels impossible to put into words,” Kiser said in a statement to her nearly 2 million Instagram followers. “I’ve spent days, weeks, months trying to find them and also take the time I’ve needed to digest the loss of my baby.”
Trigg died at the hospital after being in critical condition for several days following an incident at the family’s home in Chandler, Arizona, on May 12. Emergency responders were called out to the home around 6 p.m. after the boy was found unresponsive in the pool. He was rushed to Chandler Regional Medical Center before being transferred to Phoenix Children’s Hospital in critical condition.
