Cause confirmed in death of Caitlyn Jenner friend Sophia Hutchins
Published in Entertainment News
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.”
