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.'

"It doesn't seem like she was following them," Malibu/Lost Hills Sergeant Eduardo Saucedo explained to the outlet, noting that there were two uninjured females in the car. "I think she just came up on them and then hit the car." "It looked like she tried to maneuver to go around it," he continued, "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."

"We've been great friends ever since." And before long, the pair's bond extended into their professional lives. "I saw nobody was managing her, and there were all these people taking massive advantage," she continued.

From then on, the reality star described Sophia as nothing less than her 'best friend, family and confidant.' "She is one of the top minds in her field," the 75-year-old gushed to the outlet.

Hutchins was killed on July 2 after she plunged 350 feet down a cliff on the vehicle after she was believed to have struck a car bumper In 2017, Hutchins moved into Jenner's home and began working as the star's manager in 2015. Before that Kris Jenner managed Caitlyn. sources revealed that after striking the car's bumper, the impact forced the ATV and Hutchins ended up 'plummeting 350ft down into a ravine.' First responders pronounced Hutchins dead at the scene. Investigators told that she was believed to have been speeding in the 2013 Polaris ATV, and was 'side by side' a Mazda when she rear-ended the car. The impact caused the ATV to veer off the cliff off the winding mountainous road in Malibu. The two individuals in the car struck by Hutchins and the ATV were not injured. Hutchins was in Jenner's inner circle for over a decade after she came out as a transgender woman in 2015. The case remains open, but her manner of death has been ruled an accident; seen in 2019 Hutchins met Caitlyn that year and appeared in multiple episodes of the television documentary series I Am Cait, a spin-off of Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Despite living under one roof, Hutchins previously told The New York Times that they 'were never romantically involved', insisting it was all about work and friendship. 'Caitlyn is a parent to me. I have said that a million times. It is a parental, familial relationship,' Sophia said. In 2020, Sophia posed for an online ad campaign for Kim Kardashian's highly successful clothing line SKIMS. Sophia was particularly close to Kris Jenner, speaking to her regularly, and Hutchins also had a good relationship with Jenner's daughters Kendall, 29, and Kylie, 27. The siblings once gave Sophia a stunning heart-shaped diamond necklace for Christmas. 'I'm on good terms with all the family, but I'm closest with Kris, Kim, Kylie and Kendall', Sophia said. The tragedy comes nine years after Jenner was involved in a fatal car crash while driving on the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu. The collision involved four cars and resulted in the death of Kim Howe, 70. Jenner was not charged in the crash, but an investigation by the LA County Sheriff's Office determined that Caitlyn was driving too fast. That opened her up to blame in civil lawsuits, which was later settled out of court. Despite living under one roof, Hutchins previously told The New York Times that they 'were never romantically involved' with each other — a sentiment that pair have repeated over the years. 'I don't feel a need to address my sex life, quite frankly, unless I want to,' Sophia sternly told the outlet at the time.
