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.'

At least 10 dead as vehicles plunge into river after bridge collapse
At least 10 people have been killed in a partial bridge collapse in India that sent lorries, vans and a rickshaw plunging into the river below. The incident happened on Wednesday when a 10-15 metre section of a crossing near Mujpur village in the western state of Gujarat fell into the Mahisagar river. Authorities said the death toll was expected to rise and that three of the dead were from the same family. 'Right now, the death toll is 10, but we are expecting more as we are pulling out the vehicles from the river,' said Rohan Anand, the Vadodara police superintendent. 'Three people are feared drowned, and a rescue operation is on,' he said, adding that five people had been injured. An oil tanker truck was hanging on the edge of the collapsed segment on Wednesday as witnesses recounted pulling bodies from the river. 'I immediately ran toward the spot and saw that many vehicles had fallen into the river. We rescued some and took out the bodies as well,' said Jagmar Singh Padhia. The bridge 'had wide gaps on the joints and we expected it would collapse one day', he added. Footage of the incident showed a woman calling for the rescue of her son, who appeared to be trapped in a submerged van. Bodies of the dead have been taken to Padra Referral Hospital for autopsy. Nine of those killed are from Gujarat, while one is from the neighbouring state of Rajasthan. Police have registered a case of accidental death and begun an investigation. Raju Hathiya, a lorry driver, survived after his vehicle fell into the river and was later taken to hospital. 'I was driving slowly, and the bridge suddenly collapsed from below and we fell into the river,' he said. 'I don't know where my co-driver is. I pulled myself out and sat on the lorry until a rescue team came.' India's infrastructure has long been marred by safety issues that have led to several disasters. Builders often use poor-quality construction materials to cut costs. Wednesday's incident was the 17th bridge collapse in Gujarat in the past five years. In Oct 2022, a colonial-era suspension bridge collapsed in the town of Morbi, plunging hundreds of people into the river Machchhu and killing 135.

An Oklahoma pediatrician is accused of staging her daughter's accidental death in Florida
An Oklahoma pediatrician was accused of murder after, authorities said, she staged her daughter's accidental death at a vacation rental in suburban Miami, court records obtained Thursday show. Dr. Neha Gupta, 36, was arrested on suspicion of first-degree murder in Oklahoma City and is awaiting extradition to Florida in the June 27 death of her daughter, the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office said in a news release. The 4-year-old girl, identified in an affidavit in support of an arrest warrant as A.T., was found unresponsive in a pool at the home, but her lungs and stomach contained no water, prompting authorities to rule out drowning as the cause of death. A lawyer for Gupta said Thursday that he was disappointed the sheriff's office "decided to hastily arrest a grieving mother who fully cooperated with the police and who is absolutely devastated for the loss of her child." "We look forward to more evidence, evidence that the Miami Dade Sheriff's office could not possibly have obtained in the 24-hour investigation that they completed," the lawyer, Richard L. Cooper, said in an email. According to the affidavit, Gupta traveled to Florida from Oklahoma, where she is a doctor, on June 25 and rented a home in El Portal, north of Miami. Gupta told authorities that she arrived at the rental with her daughter between 7 and 8 p.m. June 26 after having spent the day at the beach. Gupta awoke the girl to feed her dinner at 9 p.m., and the 4-year-old remained awake until 12:30 a.m., the affidavit says. Gupta told authorities she was awakened about 3:20 a.m. by a noise and saw that her daughter was not in the bed they were sharing, according to the affidavit. A sliding glass door to the patio was open, Gupta told authorities, even though she said she had locked it before bed. Gupta "stated she then observed the 'deceased victim' submerged underwater within the swimming pool of the residence," the affidavit says. 'The Subject' stated she attempted to remove the victim from the pool; however, she was unsuccessful due to the fact that she is unable to swim." Gupta said she tried to help the girl for 10 minutes before she dialed 911, according to the affidavit. First responders performed CPR, but A.T. was pronounced dead at a hospital at 4:28 a.m., the affidavit says. During an autopsy Sunday, a pathologist with the Miami-Dade County Medical Examiner Department found that the girl's lungs and stomach were "dry" and that cuts in her mouth and bruising in her cheeks were "not consistent" with the first responders' lifesaving efforts, according to the affidavit. The pathologist concluded that the girl was dead before she was put in the pool, the affidavit says. While the cause and manner of death are pending, the pathologist's preliminary findings indicate that the girl's injuries are consistent with asphyxiation by smothering, the affidavit says. The autopsy also showed that the girl's stomach was empty, contrary to what Gupta told authorities about having fed her at 9 p.m., the affidavit says. Gupta "attempted to conceal the killing of the 'deceased victim' by staging an accidental drowning within the swimming pool of a rental property," it says. The affidavit does not identify a possible motive. Gupta was in a custody battle with her ex-husband when his daughter died, and he was unaware that she had left Oklahoma, according to the document.
