Caitlyn Jenner Grieves Friend's Death and Minneapolis Shooting Victims

Caitlyn Jenner said late August that she is still grappling with the death of her friend and manager Sophia Hutchins, who died in an ATV crash in July, and described her grief in the wake of a separate mass shooting that killed two children at a Minneapolis Catholic school. Jenner, 75, spoke about Hutchins, 29, during an appearance on Fox News at Night on Aug. 28, saying, "Recently my good friend Sophia passed away in a tragic accident. For the last seven weeks, I’ve been dealing with death, and it’s so difficult," and adding that she could not imagine the pain of parents who lost children in the school attack.

Hutchins died on July 2 after the ATV she was driving collided with the bumper of a moving vehicle near Jenner’s Malibu home and tumbled down a roughly 350 foot ravine, according to Los Angeles County authorities. The County of Los Angeles Medical Examiner’s Office later confirmed Hutchins’ cause of death as multiple blunt force injuries and ruled the manner of death accidental. Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Sergeant Eduardo Saucedo told reporters Hutchins may have been speeding, rear-ended a 2016 Mazda and then veered off the road.
