Emilie Kiser's Brother Breaks Silence After Death of 3-Year-Old Nephew

Emilie Kiser’s family continues to mourn the death of her son Trigg.

Nick Espinosa, the influencer’s brother, recently spoke out about his nephew’s passing and contemplated the transient character of life a few weeks following the tragic event.

Nick, who now has his Instagram set to private, once remarked in a voiceover as he embarked on a relaxing drive, “Life is prone to surprising you with an unexpected challenge.” On certain days, it seems like everything falls into place. You’re advancing, pursuing your purpose, and making progress. But suddenly, without warning, things can take a complete turn for the unexpected.

Following the darkened screen, I found myself gazing at Nick perched on the hood of his car, his face buried in his hands. With a heavy heart, he started flinging stones along a hiking path. This video, now popular on TikTok, appears to hint at a personal tragedy within Nick’s family. He seemed to reference an unexpected call and a goodbye that was never said.

He went on to say, “Don’t let the world be the one to teach you about the delicate nature of life. Instead, set aside your phone, step outside and feel the grass beneath your feet, cherish the moments with those you hold dear.

Official sources have confirmed that Trigg passed away on May 18 at Phoenix Children’s Hospital in Arizona, six days following his rescue from a backyard pool at his family’s residence. According to NBC affiliate KPNX, an investigation into the incident is currently being conducted by the Chandler Police Department, as reported by their spokesperson Sonu Wasu.

In consideration of the family’s need for confidentiality, I, Wasu, have shared with TopMob News that we won’t disclose further information until the ongoing investigation comes to a conclusion.

Emilie, alongside her husband Brady Kiser, who they share two-month-old son Theodore with, later initiated a lawsuit against various offices in Maricopa County, Arizona, as reported by NBC News on May 29. The lawsuit was aimed at preserving the confidentiality of their toddler’s death details, given that Emilie, at just 26 years old, is already facing every parent’s deepest nightmare. The filing asserted that disclosing these records would unjustly violate her family’s privacy.

The records you’ve asked for likely contain disturbing, personal details about Trigg’s death that do not concern government accountability. Releasing them under these conditions could transform Arizona’s Public Records Law from a means for promoting transparency into an instrument causing emotional distress instead.
