TikTok influencer Emilie Kiser files lawsuit to keep drowning death of her 3-year-old son Trigg private

TikTok influencer Emilie Kiser has filed a lawsuit to keep details of her 3-year-old son’s drowning death private.

Kiser, 26, filed the suit against multiple Maricopa County public offices on Tuesday as Arizona police continue to investigate the death of her son, Trigg Kiser, who died on May 18 days after he was found unresponsive in a swimming pool, NBC News reported.

“Emilie and her family desperately want to grieve in private, but sadly, the public will not let them,” the lawsuit read.

“Trigg’s death has become a media frenzy.”

Kiser’s attorney’s claim that more than 100 public records requests have been filed at the city of Chandler and the Maricopa County Medical Examiner’s Office following Trigg’s death.

The grieving mother claims that she has not reviewed any of the records being requested, including the police report, “graphic security camera footage,” and autopsy report — adding that she does not intend to view them at all, according to the lawsuit.

Kiser, instead, wants to focus her time on dealing with “a parent’s worst nightmare” while tending to her surviving two-month-old son, Theodore, her attorneys added.

Kiser, who boasts 3.1 million followers on TikTok and over 1 million on Instagram, ultimately claims that the records being requested are “for commercial purposes,” and would lead to “emotional harm” to her and her family.

“Disclosure of graphic or intimate death-related records causes renewed trauma to surviving family members and violates their right to grieve privately,” the suit reads.

Arizona law, however, does not regard the requests of such records for journalistic purposes to be commercial.

First responders discovered the toddler unconscious in a swimming pool at the family’s Chandler home on May 12 and performed lifesaving efforts right away.

After CPR was administered, Trigg was rushed to a nearby medical facility before being airlifted to Phoenix Children’s Hospital, where he died six days later.

The lawsuit names the city of Chandler, the Chandler Police Department and Maricopa County among the defendants.

Officials from the municipalities and police department could not be immediately reached for comment.
