A tragic incident occurred in Chandler, Arizona, where a three-year-old boy, Trigg Kiser, passed away after being pulled from a backyard pool. The young child was found unconscious at a home belonging to his mother, social media influencer Emilie Kiser. The Chandler Fire Department reported that authorities responded quickly, with police officers performing CPR until firefighters arrived.
Trigg was initially taken to Chandler Regional Hospital and subsequently transferred to Phoenix Children’s Hospital, where he spent six days in critical condition before succumbing to his injuries. The Chandler Police Department expressed heartfelt condolences to Trigg’s family during this incredibly difficult time.
This incident underscores the significant risk of drowning for young children, as it remains one of the leading causes of death in this age group. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), three children lose their lives to drowning each day. To raise awareness and potentially prevent further tragedies, officials recommend implementing drowning prevention measures. These include installing proper fencing around pools, ensuring children wear life jackets near open water, and maintaining vigilant supervision around any bodies of water.
As the community mourns the loss of young Trigg, it is a poignant reminder for all families to prioritize water safety and educate themselves and their children about safe practices near water. This unfortunate incident serves as a call to action to improve safety measures and protect the lives of children.
