A TikTok influencer’s toddler son drowned after falling into a swimming pool, police have confirmed.
Some of Emilie Kiser’s millions of followers had expressed concern after she did not post on social media for nearly a week.
Last night, their questions were answered when police in Phoenix, Arizona, confirmed that three-year-old Trigg had died.
He was found unresponsive in the private garden pool of the family home last Monday before being taken to a specialist unit at a children’s hospital.
His death was announced almost a week later on Sunday, May 18.
An investigation is taking place into Trigg’s death.
Emilie, who built up an online following with updates on children and family life with her 3.1 million followers on TikTok, has received many messages of support on older videos.
Karen Gallagher Jacobs said: ‘We are all wrapping our arms around you and your boys.’
On TikTok, suki_d00kie said: ‘How awful, life is so unfair.’
Winchester.bri added: ‘emilie, you and your family are so loved.’
On March 29, Emilie and her husband, Brady, announced the birth of their second child, a son named Theodore.
In an announcement about her second child’s birth on social media, she spoke about the love she had for her two children.
‘Theodore. We love you so much and our hearts feel like they are going to burst.
‘I am so grateful for a smooth delivery, a healthy baby, and the best husband. Could not have done it without my rock @bradykiser . The love I have for my boys is infinite.’ the post read.
She also wrote on her TikTok that she was elated to have a family of four: ‘There’s no words to describe finally meeting Teddy and finally getting to analyze every part of him and how perfect he is.
‘The long wait was beyond worth it. I’d do it all over again solely for the moment of Brady holding up our baby and announcing him to me. More to come. We have been soaking up every second as a family of FOUR.’
