On Wednesday, the Chandler Fire Department told Arizona’s 12 News that a 3-year-old boy was in critical condition, though it did not name the child.

First responders last week discovered Trigg unconscious, and performed lifesaving efforts right away.

After CPR was administered, the child was rushed to a nearby medical facility before being airlifted to Phoenix Children’s Hospital.

Kiser, who boasts 3.1 million followers on TikTok and over 1 million on Instagram, was propelled to fame after sharing daily videos of her life.

In the days after the tragedy, her followers noticed that she had stopped posting on social media — leading them to suspect something was wrong.

Concerns heightened after the social media star, 26, failed to respond to her worried followers.

Kiser and her husband, Brady, welcomed Trigg in July 2021. They became parents a second time in March after welcoming their second son, Teddy.

“WE GOTTA BABY GROWING 🕊️🤍,” they wrote on Instagram in September 2024. “We can not wait to add another angel to our family. Whatever you are, we love you so much already 🥹.”

Announcing Teddy’s arrival in March, the influencer wrote on Instagram, “We love you so much and our hearts feel like they are going to burst.”

“I am so grateful for a smooth delivery, a healthy baby, and the best husband. Could not have done it without my rock @bradykiser. The love I have for my boys is infinite,” she added.
