Trigg’s death is currently being labelled a drowning accident. A source previously shared with People that Emilie Kiser was not home, and out with friends at the time of the accident, something that has now been corroborated by the USA Today report. The Chandler, Arizona Police Department confirmed to PEOPLE that Trigg was found unconscious on May 12 and died in the hospital 6 days later on May 18.

The police released an official statement shortly afterwards,

"Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with the child's family and loved ones during this unimaginable time. The investigation into the circumstances surrounding this incident remain ongoing. This is still an open investigation. Out of respect for the family’s privacy, we will not be releasing additional details until the investigation is closed."

According to People, Emilie Kiser first filed a lawsuit aiming to keep records of Trigg’s death out of public view on May 27. Her lawsuit alleged that,

“the City of Chandler and the Maricopa County Medical Examiner’s Office have received over 100 requests for access to public records related to the incident.”
