In a heartbreaking turn of events, Sophia Hutchins, the close friend and manager of Caitlyn Jenner, tragically passed away due to an ATV accident on July 2, at just 29 years old.

Days after her untimely death, a death certificate revealed that Hutchins will be laid to rest at Holy Cross Catholic Cemetery in Los Angeles on July 24. However, her cause of death remains deferred as authorities continue their investigation into the circumstances surrounding the tragic accident.

The incident occurred in Malibu, California, where Hutchins was driving an ATV near Jenner's home. Reports indicate she crashed into the rear of a moving vehicle, causing her ATV to plummet 350 feet down a ravine.

Details of the Incident

Sergeant Eduardo Saucedo from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department provided further insights into the crash. Hutchins was reportedly speeding down Decker Canyon Road when she collided with a gray Mazda 6.

"It appears she was traveling at a high speed and rear-ended the other vehicle, leading her to veer off the road and ultimately fall into the ravine," Saucedo explained. The driver of the Mazda, a local realtor, and the passenger were unharmed.

As emergency services arrived at the scene, Jenner was present, visibly shaken by the ordeal. A search and rescue team had to descend the cliff to recover Hutchins’ body, which was tragically pronounced dead at the scene.

A Bond Like No Other

Sophia Hutchins wasn't just known for her management role; she was also a rising star in health technology, serving as the founder and CEO of LUMASOL. She and Jenner had developed a close bond since meeting in 2015, shortly after Jenner announced her transition.

Hutchins often spoke about how their relationship brought growth and mutual understanding, stating, "We see the world so similarly and we both challenge each other in positive ways." They both shared endless passions that solidified their partnership.

The coming days will be a time of reflection and mourning for those who loved Sophia, as well as a continued investigation into the tragic circumstances of her death.
