Two weeks after a horror ATV accident, Sophia Hutchins’ cause of death has been revealed.
People reports that a death certificate was obtained from the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Health, stating that the cause of death was multiple blunt force injuries.
While the case still remains open, Hutchins’ manner of death has been ruled an accident.

Hutchins was a close friend and manager to Caitlyn Jenner.
She died on July 2 aged 29 when she was riding an ATV – known in Australia as a quad bike – and was struck the bumper of a moving car.
TMZ reported at the time that the impact forced the ATV and Hutchins 350ft (approximately 106 metres) down a ravine. She was reportedly pronounced dead on the scene.
It is unclear whether Jenner was present when the incident occurred.
Hutchins, who was a transgender woman, was introduced to Jenner by their hairstylist in 2015. She moved in with the reality star in 2017.
Hutchins appeared in multiple episodes of the reality series I Am Cait as Jenner’s manager, and the two have remained close friends and colleagues ever since.

When the pair began living together, the internet began to speculate that they may be romantically involved, however Hutchins denied the rumours in a 2020 interview on Heather McDonald’s Juicy Scoop podcast.
“It was never romantic. Never sexual. It was very much friends but I understand why people perceived it that way,” she said.
“We never addressed it and that was part of the problem.”

She explained that the relationship she had with Jenner was more “parental”, sharing that the former Olympian liked to “sign off” on her potential partners.
”It’s very parental, very protective. We’re family. It’s an interesting family situation,” she said.
“All of my family is in Seattle. I didn’t have family here. I was thinking I would move to New York and Caitlyn was like work here, live here.”
