Overview
- Surveillance video and police reports show the family’s toddler fell into the backyard pool after tripping on an inflatable chair and was pulled out, hospitalized and later died from the drowning.
- A police report says Brady Kiser was home alone with the children and lost sight of their son while caring for the newborn, a detail investigators reviewed during their inquiry.
- Kiser spoke publicly for the first time on Jay Shetty’s podcast, calling the loss a "preventable accident" and describing the lasting, minute-by-minute nature of her grief.
- She and her husband have worked with medical professionals and tried therapies, including a care farm for animal therapy, and Kiser described moving toward forgiveness as part of healing.
- Kiser urged parents to use concrete safety steps such as pool fences, door alarms and swim lessons, and she has pursued legal steps to limit some records while no new criminal charges have been reported.
