Influencer Emilie Kiser is taking “full accountability” for her son Trigg’s drowning in her first statement since the 3-year-old died on May 18.
Trigg was found unresponsive in his family’s backyard pool, according to a statement shared by the Chandler Police Department in Arizona, which oversaw the investigation of the toddler’s drowning.
“Loss of this magnitude feels impossible to put into words,” Emilie Kiser said in a statement shared on her social media on Thursday. “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 was in the care of his father, Brady Kiser, at the time, while his mother was away from the house. The police department said that Trigg “was in the backyard unsupervised for more than nine minutes, and in the water for about seven of those minutes,” according to a report seen by People magazine.
The 3-year-old was recovered from the pool and hospitalized in critical condition, and died six days later.
