When Did the Incident Happen?
Trigg was discovered unconscious in the family’s backyard pool on the evening of May 12. Two days later, the Chandler Fire Department informed local Arizona news outlet 12 News that a 3-year-old boy — later confirmed to be Trigg — was in critical condition. Police officers reportedly arrived at the scene and began administering CPR before firefighters took over the life-saving efforts. He was then airlifted to Phoenix Children’s Hospital for further care.
While Trigg was not initially named, speculation began to circulate online that the 3-year-old might be Kiser’s son after her followers noticed her absence from social media for several days.
“Emily [sic], I hope you are okay. I feel sick!! I’m sick.”
