A popular influencer just had to file a lawsuit to stop people from trying to access records about her son’s death.
Right, this is a tragic story, and the influencer here is named Emilie (Emily) Kiser.
She has four million followers on TikTok, 1.7 million on Instagram. [][]
And she and her husband Brady have two sons, Trigg, who is three, and Theodore, who was just born in March, and she often posted about their life together.
But on May 12, her son Trigg was hospitalized over an accidental drowning incident, and the Chandler Police Department in Arizona later confirmed he died as a result of the drowning on May 18.[]
With local police saying an investigation into the incident is ongoing and not releasing further details out of respect for the family’s privacy.
And because the word “investigation” sometimes rings alarm bells, I will note that Arizona Central reported that drownings are always investigated to rule out any cases of abuse or extreme neglect, and it would be incredibly rare for charges to be filed in a case like this.[]
Because at the end of the day, this looks like just a horrible, accidental, worst case scenario for any parents enduring this loss, including Emily.
But that has not stopped people online from endlessly speculating about it all since there were still a ton of headlines about the loss of her son.
And even though she has turned off her comments on both Instagram and TikTok, you have people posting tons of videos of their own discussing it.
Some kind of blaming Emily for not having a fence around the pool, others questioning some of her posts or parenting, and some talking about how they want updates on the situation.
In fact, when the news about a local toddler drowning was first reported, that child was not even identified, but people still connected the dots on their own and made Emily a trending topic after tracing a photo in a local news story to Emily’s house, before anyone’s name was formally revealed. []
And according to a lawsuit Emily just filed, some have also been trying to access records regarding her son’s death and the investigation around it.
Right, Emily filed that suit to keep records regarding her son’s death private, with the complaint saying:
“Emily and her family desperately want to grieve in private, but sadly, the public will not let them. Trigg’s death has become a media frenzy. Appallingly, 100+ public record requests have been filed with both the City of Chandler and the Maricopa County Medical Examiner’s Office. The records requested presumably reveal graphic, distressing, and intimate details of Trigg’s death.”[]
Right, and Emily stated that she is unaware of who is making these 100+ requests, and the suit claims many of them are seeking the information “for commercial purposes.”
