The husband of TikTok influencer Emilie Kiser<\/a> allegedly placed a $25 bet on a New York Knicks playoff game over an hour before his toddler son\u2019s fatal drowning.<\/p>\n

Brady Kiser had his attention \u201cdivided\u201d between taking care of his two young sons and Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals between the Knicks and Celtics at the time of 3-year-old Trigg Kiser\u2019s drowning on May 12, according to a Chandler Police Department report.<\/a><\/p>\n

Police found that little Trigg<\/a> was unsupervised in the family\u2019s Chandler, Ariz., backyard for more than 9 minutes and was \u201cin the water for 7 of those minutes,\u201d the report first obtained by People<\/a> and made public on Aug. 8 revealed.<\/p>\n

The 28-year-old father detailed to police that he was inside his home with his newborn son, Theodore, while Emilie Kiser had gone out with her friends<\/a> 20 minutes from their home.<\/p>\n

An investigation into the tragic death found Kiser placed a $25 bet with popular sports betting platform DraftKings at 5:14 p.m., 75 minutes before Trigg was spotted outside<\/a> by a security camera, according to Kiser\u2019s phone data.<\/p>\n

The wager was for Celtics star Jayson Tatum scoring over 40 points in the game against the Knicks. Kiser was paid out $102.50 after Tatum scored 42 points in the 121-113 loss.<\/p>\n

Surveillance cameras captured the toddler playing on an inflatable chair around the pool before tripping and falling in the water at 6:32 p.m.<\/p>\n

Kiser didn\u2019t discover his son unresponsive in the pool until 6:39 p.m.<\/p>\n

Trigg was pulled out of the water by his father, who called 911 to report the drowning at 6:41 p.m., according to the report.<\/p>\n

Chandler Police officers rushed to the home and performed CPR on Trigg, who had been moved into the house when they arrived.<\/p>\n

First responders transported the lifeless toddler to Chandler Regional Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on May 18.<\/p>\n

Follow-up interviews found Kiser wasn\u2019t truthful about how long Trigg was unsupervised.<\/p>\n

Kiser initially told police that his son was left alone outside for 5 minutes, but investigators discovered the toddler had not been watched for over 10 minutes. <\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t have a clock, obviously, I don\u2019t know the exact time, but it was moments, it wasn\u2019t minutes it was moments, it wasn\u2019t that he had been out of sight for long,\u201d Kiser told police during his first interview.<\/p>\n

Police accused Kiser of not watching his son because the father couldn\u2019t answer questions related to his son\u2019s movement before the drowning.<\/p>\n

\u201cBrady\u2019s statements do not match what is seen on the video; he did not accurately describe one thing [Trigg] did after he went outside. This leads to the conclusion that Brady was not aware of what [Trigg] was doing and was not watching him. The combination of these factors led to drowning, and a remedy to any of the contributing circumstances could have prevented the outcome,\u201d the report stated.<\/p>\n

Brady Kiser was not criminally charged in his son\u2019s drowning death. @emiliekiser\/Instagram<\/p>\n

Detectives concluded that Kiser\u2019s attention was \u201cdivided\u201d <\/a>and was not watching \u201c[Trigg] at all during the critical times mentioned.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring two interviews, he did not know what [Trigg] was doing before he fell in and did not see [Trigg] struggling to swim,\u201d police said. <\/p>\n

\u201cNo evidence suggests that Brady saw [Trigg] in the pool and failed to act. On the contrary, he acted
immediately when he saw him, leaving his infant swaddled on the ground in the patio area.\u201d<\/p>\n

Investigators found the family owned a mesh netting, called a Katchakid, which they claim was usually covering the pool.<\/p>\n

The child protection device was not in place at the time of Trigg\u2019s drowning.<\/p>\n

The Kisers told police that the netting had recently been removed so they could swim but it was never replaced after the pool was used.<\/p>\n

The police report was made public after Emilie Kiser successfully petitioned the Arizona Superior Court for Maricopa County\u00a0to remove two pages regarding her son\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

The filing by the influencer was to censor the reason\u00a0police recommended\u00a0Brady Kiser should be charged with Class 4 felony child abuse, according to AZCentral.<\/a><\/p>\n

Police submitted a report asking the Maricopa County Attorney\u2019s Office to consider charging Brady Kiser with child abuse with criminal negligence.<\/a><\/p>\n

Officials determined that there was insufficient evidence to charge Brady.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The husband of TikTok influencer Emilie Kiser allegedly placed a $25 bet on a New York Knicks playoff…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":58821,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[434],"tags":[5585,49,48,2770,16234,38708,2352,459,6975,82,6452,886],"class_list":["post-58820","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nba","tag-arizona","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-children","tag-draftkings","tag-drownings","tag-influencers","tag-nba","tag-police","tag-sports","tag-sports-betting","tag-us-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58820","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=58820"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58820\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/58821"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=58820"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=58820"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=58820"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
