Sophia Hutchins died aged 29 earlier this month, with the cause of death of Caitlyn Jenner’s friend and manager revealed on her death certificate
The cause of death for Sophia Hutchins has been revealed. Caitlyn Jenner’s close pal died at the age of 29 earlier this month after a horrific accident in Malibu.
Sophia’s ATV plunged 350 feet down a cliff on July 2. It’s thought the vehicle she was in had struck a car bumper at the time. Now, with the incident having been ruled as an accident, the cause has been confirmed in her death certificate.
The official document from the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Heart shows Sophia died from “multiple blunt force injuries.”. The document was obtained by People two weeks after the accident.
Further reports say the reality TV star’s funeral is set to take place on July 24. She will be laid to rest at the Holy Cross Catholic Cemetery in Los Angeles.
Shortly after the fatality, officials confirmed the incident took place in the early hours of Wednesday, July 2. They confirmed it happened as Hutchins’ all-terrain vehicle struck a moving vehicle on a twisting section of road overlooking the Pacific Coast.
Emergency responders are said to have reached the scene swiftly but declared Hutchins deceased upon arrival.
Hutchins, also a transgender woman, initially established a connection with Jenner, 75, soon after the Olympic legend publicly revealed her identity in 2015. Hutchins often referred to Jenner as a beacon of hope throughout her own gender transition whilst studying at Pepperdine University. Their strong connection deepened over the years and later became both a personal and working partnership.
In 2017, Hutchins relocated to Jenner’s £2.8 million Malibu residence. There, she subsequently assumed control of Jenner’s professional affairs. This saw her replace Jenner’s former spouse Kris Jenner in that capacity.
Following Hutchins’ death, Jenner has reportedly been supporting Hutchins’ family. It’s said Jenner 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.”
Another source close to the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star also claimed to RadarOnline.com: “Caitlyn is numb with shock. She is absolutely devastated and can’t believe what’s happened. Sophia was a big part of her life.”
In a candid New York Times piece from 2019 regarding her linkup with Jenner, Hutchins 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’.”
