On a sad note, Caitlyn Jenner have to deal with another loss, after the death of William Hasleyher close friend.
The ghostwriter was found dead on Saturday after efforts to save him were largely unsuccessful.
Notably, this heavy loss comes nearly a year after Caitlyn suffered another devastating loss when her manager, Sophia Hutchinslost his life in an ATV accident.
Hasley was recently identified as the hiker whose body was discovered near Runyon Canyon. The screenwriter was in Caitlyn’s inner circle and was also the author of the book “Finding the Champion Within.”
New York Post confirmed that LAFD Air Operations attempted to save him by providing medical treatment at the scene. However, he was soon pronounced dead.
Speaking to the author, one of Hasley’s neighbors recalled seeing him “carrying groceries” before the incident occurred. “It’s very sad that he had to die all alone like that,” the neighbor remarked.
During her lifetime, Halsey was part of the creative minds behind many popular projects, including “Murder, She Wrote”, “Highway to Heaven” and “Swift Justice”. He also worked closely with students at UCLA, helping them develop different styles of screenwriting and creative writing.
Although the author’s cause of death has not yet been determined, temperatures in the area where he was found hovered around the mid to low 60s.
What Caitlyn Jenner said about grieving her close friend, Sophia Hutchins
Halsey’s tragic death likely brings back heartbreaking memories for Caitlyn, who suffered a similarly devastating loss last year. The TV star’s manager tragically lost her life in an ATV accident that threw her to the bottom of a ravine.
Caitlyn and Hutchins met in 2015 and formed a close friendship. According to The explosionCaitlyn mourned Hutchins’ death and said it was “hard” to mourn her close friend.
In the same breath, she expressed her condolences to the families and victims of the mass shooting that had occurred within that period. The socialite was visibly emotional as she spoke on the subject, noting that the road to recovery was still a long way off.
Sophia Hutchins was sober at the time of the accident
The gory nature of Hutchins’ accident led to speculation that the late manager may have been intoxicated at the time of her death. But after her passing, the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner confirmed that her toxicology report came back clean.
The deceased manager was tested for benzodiazepines, an anti-anxiety medication. However, there was no trace of that in her system, per The explosion.
Notably, her cause of death was listed as “multiple blunt force injuries” that occurred after she lost control of her car and rear-ended another vehicle. This caused her to lose her balance and swing off the road down a cliff.
Caitlyn Jenner’s manager reportedly owed some money at the time of her death
After the tragic passing of Caitlyn’s manager, the former reality TV star revealed that Hutchins owed her nearly half a million dollars.
The explosion reported that Caitlyn filed a creditors’ claim against Hutchins’ estate in late 2025 in an attempt to recover the sum of $439,095.88 she allegedly owed after asking for cash advances.
Caitlyn claimed Hutchins spent about $242,491.20 on a website that sells “vintage, antique and modern furniture.” She also listed other expenses on eBay, Fast Growing Trees and Shopify.
Caitlyn Jenner recently came under fire for voicing her concerns about a passport
Weeks after reports of Caitlyn’s creditors’ claims against Hutchins’ estate emerged, the reality TV star found herself on the receiving end of heavy backlash following some drama with her passport.
According to The explosionCaitlyn noted that she had difficulty traveling across her country’s borders due to a discrepancy between the gender on her passport and the gender she identifies with
Despite working closely with officials to change the gender on her documentation from male to female, Donald Trump’s executive order made her efforts largely unsuccessful. She repeatedly sent her passport back for correction. However, Caitlyn noticed in frustration that it came back with the gender marked as male.
This led to strong backlash from many fans online who urged Caitlyn to accept the predicament as it was a direct result of her political views. One urged her to “Stay home and enjoy your vote” and another noted that she got what she voted for.
