Caitlyn Jenner's best friend Sophia Hutchins' cause of death aged 29 revealed
After her fatal road crash, Sophia Hutchins' cause of death has been confirmed as 'multiple blunt force injuries'. Hutchins, who was the best friend of Caitlyn Jenner, died in an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) accident on Wednesday, July 2, at the age of 29. A certificate released by the County of Los Angeles Medical Examiner, seen by TMZ, added that the manner of death was an accident. This comes after officers claimed to the Daily Mail that Hutchins was speeding at the time of the crash. She collided with another car on a road near the former Kardashians star's home, causing her to fall into a '350 feet ravine', US outlets reported at the time. 'It looks like she may have been speeding and rear-ended the other car, the other party, and then that caused her to veer to the right and go off the cliff,' Sergeant Eduardo Saucedo told the outlet earlier this month. 'It doesn't seem like she was following them. I think she just she came up on them and then hit the car,' the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department sergeant stated. The two women in the grey Mazda, which Hutchins reportedly tried to manoeuvre around, were uninjured. One was reportedly a real estate agent showing homes in the local area. Sgt. Saucedo added: 'So it looked like she tried to manoeuvre to go around it, but she was going too fast and just ended up clipping the rear end of that Mazda, causing her to veer off and go off the cliff there.' Jenner allegedly came down to the scene, which occurred at 11.30am, a quarter of a mile south of her home on Decker Edison Road. The I Am Cait star, who recently returned from Israel, is 'numb with shock' according to an insider who spoke to 'She is absolutely devastated and can't believe what's happened. Sophia was a big part of her life.' Jenner spent the Fourth of July holiday weekend away from the public eye, only leaving her home for a solo coffee run. She has not given a public statement, beyond telling the Daily Mail she is struggling through 'tough times' surrounding the loss. This isn't the first time Jenner's life has been impacted by a fatal car crash, as she previously rear-ended another car while driving her Cadillac Escalade. In 2015, the I'm A Celebrity star was towing a trailer when traffic ahead of her slowed rapidly, resulting in her hitting a Lexus in a four-car crash. Kimberly Howe, 70, died at the scene but prosecutors for the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office did not press charges for vehicular manslaughter.

Jenner and Hutchins met in 2015 through their hairstylist when the former announced her transition and they have been by each others' side ever since. Hutchins, who was the CEO of a now-defunct beauty brand, was just starting her own transition at the time they met and was thought to have been inspired by Jenner. She was hired as the former Olympian's business manager, but their bond was deeper than that, as she appeared in multiple episodes of her E! reality series I Am Cait and became friends with the Jenner family. The pair were rumoured to be romantically involved by both stated this was not the case More Trending 'We have so much in common; we see the world so similarly, and we both are such a good match for each other because we challenge each other,' Hutchins once said of their relationship in an interview with The Hidden Truth with Jim Breslo. 'She challenges me in so many ways, has allowed me to grow in so many ways, and I hope I challenge her to grow, and I think because we share so many of the same passions and views, it's just a great match, a great partnership.'

Caitlyn Jenner's gesture to Sophia Hutchins family after heartbreaking death
Caitlyn Jenner's manager died after colliding with a car while on an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) ride near Caitlyn's Malibu mansion Caitlyn Jenner has reportedly been supporting Sophia Hutchins' family after her manager tragically died while on an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) ride near Caitlyn's Malibu mansion. The LA Sheriff's Department reported earlier this month that the 29-year-old died at around 11.30am. The crash occurred on Decker Canyon Road, which is a public road about a mile north of Pacific Coast Highway. Authorities were called, and she was pronounced dead at the scene. It was said that drones were used to help locate Sophia's body after the ATV collided with another vehicle on the road above. Almost two weeks after the tragic accident, it has been reported that Caitlyn, 75, has offered Sophie's mum Amy a place to stay as they grieve the late manager's death. A source recently told TMZ: "Both devastated, Caitlyn and Amy have been leaning on each other for support during this incredibly difficult time." The Mirror have reached out to Caitlyn's reps for comment. In previous reports from MailOnline, officers claimed Sophia was speeding at the time of the crash. "It looks like she may have been speeding and rear-ended the other car, the other party, and then that caused her to veer to the right and go off the cliff," Sergeant Eduardo Saucedo said to the publication. "It doesn't seem like she was following them. I think she just she came up on them and then hit the car." The women in the Mazda, which Sophia is said to have tried to swerve around, were uninjured. The sergeant said: "So it looked like she tried to manoeuvre to go around it, but she was going too fast and just ended up clipping the rear end of that Mazda, causing her to veer off and go off the cliff there." It came as a source close to the Keeping Up With The Kardashian star disclosed to "Caitlyn is numb with shock. She is absolutely devastated and can't believe what's happened. Sophia was a big part of her life." Sophia helped Caitlyn with her professional affairs after her split from Kris Jenner in 2017. Sophia, who featured in Caitlyn's I Am Cait docuseries, wanted to help shield Caitlyn from exploitation. In a candid New York Times piece from 2019, she explained: "I saw nobody was managing her, and there were all these people taking massive advantage. And I was saying: 'Caitlyn, if I don't step in here and start managing you, you're going to go broke'."
