The tot died six days later in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.the-sun.com\/topic\/hospital\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">hospital<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Brady was caring for Trigg and the couple&#8217;s newborn son, Theodore, while Emily, whose wholesome family content has attracted millions of followers, was out with friends, according to the police report.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to officers after the incident, he said he lost site of the boy for about &#8220;three&#8221; or &#8220;five&#8221; minutes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I didn&#8217;t have a clock, obviously, I don&#8217;t know the exact time, but it was moments, it wasn&#8217;t minutes it was moments, it wasn&#8217;t that he had been out of sight for long,&#8221; he told cops. <\/p>\n<p>CCTV footage, however, showed Trigg was unsupervised for at least nine minutes, the report said, adding that the boy had been playing with an inflatable chair before he accidentally fell into the pool. <\/p>\n<p>Police initially suggested Brady be charged with one count of child abuse but the Maricopa County Attorney&#8217;s Officer later pulled this as it was deemed there was &#8220;no reasonable likelihood of conviction&#8221;. <\/p>\n<p>Kiser&#8217;s lawyer previously said he was reassured by the county attorney&#8217;s &#8220;thorough <a href=\"https:\/\/www.the-sun.com\/topic\/investigation\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">investigation<\/a> and confirming that this was a tragic accident&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>According to the report, Brady told officers he wasn&#8217;t on his phone before the drowning and, while a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.the-sun.com\/topic\/basketball\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">basketball<\/a> game was on the TV, he wasn&#8217;t paying attention to it.<\/p>\n<p>The dad told police he last saw his son in the backyard through a window. It was only when he went to get a drink that he noticed the boy in the pool.<\/p>\n<p>Body of woman in her 50s found in popular park opposite lake as cops probe \u2018unexplained\u2019 death<\/p>\n<p>He &#8220;acted immediately&#8221; and performed CPR on the child &#8211; leaving him &#8220;swaddled on the ground in the patio area&#8221;, the report said. <\/p>\n<p>There is &#8220;no evidence&#8221; the dad failed to act but \u201cit is clear Brady\u2019s attention was divided,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n<p>The report&#8217;s release comes after Emilie pushed to have the case sealed because of her large online presence.<\/p>\n<p>She reportedly argued that leaving the material public could open the door for social media sleuths to create disturbing AI recreations &#8211; similar to viral content generated after other high-profile deaths,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.the-sun.com\/news\/14936908\/idaho-murders-crime-scene-pictures-bryan-kohberger-evidence\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">like the Idaho college murders.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>In his ruling, Judge Whitten declared: &#8220;Specific material harm to her and her family outweighs the negligible public interest in those particular portions of the report.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The narrow redaction of those sections strikes an appropriate balance between transparency and human dignity.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kiser&#8217;s attorney, Shannon Clark, later told the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-14985875\/influencer-emilie-kiser-husband-son-drowning.html\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" Mail Online (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\"> Mail Online<\/a>: &#8220;We&#8217;re grateful to [the judge] for carefully balancing the important interests at stake and allowing a narrow but meaningful redaction to the Chandler police report, removing two pages that detail the graphic final moments of Trigg&#8217;s life.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These redactions do not alter any material facts of the accident, but they protect the dignity of a little boy whose memory should reflect the love and light he brought to the world.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;From the start, this has been about protecting Trigg and the family&#8217;s ability to grieve privately.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This decision allows them, and the public, to remember him for the beautiful life he lived, not the tragic way it ended.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Emilie has not commented on the incident. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#\"><img decoding=\"async\"
