A newly released police document provides details about the tragic event concerning influencer Emilie Kiser and her family. The report states that Emilie’s husband, Brady Kiser, is suspected of making a $25 sports wager on an NBA playoff game just before the incident.
The report indicates that their 3-year-old son was unattended in the backyard for over nine minutes, during which time he drowned in the family pool. Emilie was reportedly away from the home, while Brady was present, caring for both their newborn and the toddler. Investigators believe Brady’s attention was elsewhere during this time, contributing to the tragic event.
Authorities are currently investigating the timeline of events, including the sports betting, to ascertain if it contributed to the lapse in supervision. The drowning is currently considered accidental, but the investigation is ongoing to fully understand what happened.
Emilie’s friends, followers, and fans have expressed their sorrow and support online. Many have also initiated discussions about parental responsibility, backyard pool safety, and the impact of digital distractions on childcare.
The incident has sparked renewed conversations about child safety, parental obligations, and the potential for irreversible outcomes resulting from even brief lapses in attention. Legal experts indicate that further developments in the case will depend on whether authorities uncover evidence of negligence beyond what has been disclosed.
