The toddler son of much-loved TikTok star Emilie Kiser has tragically died following an incident at their family home in Arizona.

Police were called to the 26-year-old influencer's Chandler property - around 25 miles south of Phoenix - last Monday (12 May) following reports of a possible drowning.

Upon reaching Kiser's home, they discovered that the social media personality's three-year-old little boy Trigg Chapman Kiser had fallen into their backyard pool, sustaining a series injuries before being pulled out.

Kiser shared her son with husband Brady, whom she married in 2020.

The couple also share infant son Teddy (Theodore) together, born in March. Alongside his infant brother, Trigg frequently featured in his mother's online uploads, a huge proportion of which were centred on parenting tips and lifestyle trends.

Kiser boasts over 3.3 million followers on TikTok.

Responding officers on the scene last week immediately began performing CPR on the couple's eldest child, until paramedics arrived and took over. Deemed to be in critical condition, the child was then rushed to the nearby Chandler Regional Hospital.

Due to the extent of his injuries, however, Trigg was later flown to Phoenix Children’s Hospital in the state's capital.

Despite staff at the medical facility doing everything to save Kiser's eldest son, the toddler tragically died of his devastating injuries six days later, on the afternoon of Sunday 18 May.

A report has not yet been released, though the child's death has now been recorded by the Maricopa County Medical Examiner’s Office.

Chandler Police have also issued a statement of regret.

"Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with the child's family and loved ones during this unimaginable time," a representative of the force told press. "The investigation into the circumstances surrounding this incident remains ongoing.

"This is still an open investigation."

The police statement continued: "Out of respect for the family’s privacy, we will not be releasing additional details until the investigation is closed."

Neither Kiser or her husband have issued a statement following their son's death.

Back in March, she gave her followers an insight into their new life as a foursome, telling them in a TikTok video: "There’s no word to describe finally meeting Teddy and finally getting to analyze every part of him and how perfect he is."

The online star continued at the time: "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."
