The incident happened at Emilie and her partner Brady’s home in Chandler, Arizona, shortly after the family’s recent move. Emergency services were called to their residence near Chandler Heights and Cooper Roads after a report of a child found unresponsive in a backyard pool.

When first responders arrived, somebody was already administering CPR to little Trigg. He was quickly taken to a nearby hospital and then airlifted to Phoenix Children’s Hospital due to the critical nature of his condition. 

Despite all efforts, Trigg sadly passed away days later, as confirmed by officials. The news has sent waves of sorrow through the Arizona community and beyond, especially among Emilie’s large online following.
