Cause confirmed in death of Caitlyn Jenner friend Sophia Hutchins
The cause of death has been revealed for Sophia Hutchins, Caitlyn Jenner's manager and close friend, who was killed in an ATV accident near the Olympian's Malibu, California, home earlier this month. The 29-year-old Lumasol sunscreen founder died July 2, due to 'multiple blunt force injuries,' according to the County of Los Angeles Medical Examiner's online records. Her manner of death, which occurred on a cliff, was ruled accidental. At the time of publication, the Medical Examiner has listed the case status as 'open.' Hutchins, who appeared in 75-year-old Jenner's series 'I Am Cait,' was driving on a 'narrow canyon road' when The Malibu Times says Hutch hit the bumper of a moving car, whose driver and passenger were not injured. Hutchins' ATV was catapulted over the cliff and into a ravine roughly 350 feet below. TMZ previously reported that the crash took place on the road where Jenner lives. Hutchins in 2021 doubled down that she and Jenner, who she looked up to during her own transition, shared a truly 'familial' dynamic. 'Caitlyn is a parent to me,' she told People at the time. 'I have said that a million times. It is a parental, familial relationship. I feel so blessed and humbled to be part of such an amazing family and that she treats me like a daughter. … There's no hanky panky.'

Browns rookie Quinshon Judkins won't report to training camp as he focuses on domestic-violence charge
: This article contains depictions of alleged domestic violence. Cleveland Browns rookie running back Quinshon Judkins won't report to training camp Friday with the rest of the team's draft picks. Judkins, who is unsigned, was told by the team to focus on his legal situation after being arrested on a domestic-violence charge Saturday, according to Mary Kay Cabot of Judkins was arrested Saturday after he allegedly punched a woman in the chin/lip area, arm and thigh after they got off a flight at the Fort Lauderdale International Airport. The woman reported the alleged assault five days later because she "felt bad due to the recent success and career of the defendant," per the police report. The woman reportedly still had bruising in the areas in which she claimed she was hit by Judkins. While Judkins' contract situation prevents him from reporting to the Browns, the team seemingly is in no rush to get a deal done. Following Judkins' arrest, the team reportedly told him to focus on his legal situation, a sign its in no rush to get a deal done at this time. A number of 2025 second-round draft picks entered Monday unsigned. But with training camps approaching, players started putting pen to paper. San Francisco 49ers rookie Alfred Collins, Chicago Bears lineman Ozzy Trapilo and Los Angeles Chargers wideout Tre Harris are among the second-round picks to come to terms with their teams in recent days. All those deals helped set the market, leading to a domino effect from the other second rounders from the 2025 NFL Draft. Judkins may have been involved in that deluge of signings if not for his arrest. Judkins, 21, was taken by the Browns with the No. 36 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. He was expected to play a major role in the team's offense after former standout Nick Chubb left in the offseason. In his final season with Ohio State, Judkins ran for 1,060 yards and scored 14 rushing touchdowns, making him one of the best running-back prospects in the draft. The arrest complicates Judkins' NFL future, as he could face a suspension from the league before playing in his first NFL game. The NFL will likely wait until more information is released regarding the arrest before doling out possible punishment to Judkins.
