Victoria Jones, the 34-year-old daughter of Oscar-winning actor Tommy Lee Jones, has tragically died after being found unresponsive in the early hours of New Year’s Day at the Fairmont hotel in San Francisco. The news was initially reported by TMZ, citing law enforcement sources, and later confirmed by a spokesperson for the San Francisco Fire Department.

Emergency crews were dispatched to the luxury hotel at 2:52 a.m. local time. Upon arrival, units performed an assessment and declared Victoria Jones deceased at the scene. The investigation was subsequently turned over to the San Francisco Police Department and the medical examiner’s office to determine the official cause of death, which has not yet been released.

Further details surrounding the incident emerged from a 911 dispatch audio obtained by TMZ. In the recording, the call was described as a "code 3 for the overdose, color change." An "overdose with a color change" often refers to cyanosis, a discoloration of the skin, lips, or fingernails caused by a lack of oxygen in the blood, according to the Cleveland Clinic. However, despite this initial classification, Victoria was pronounced dead upon paramedics' arrival.

Authorities with the San Francisco Police Department reportedly arrived at the Fairmont around 3:14 a.m. The Daily Mail reported that the case was officially handed over to them, and initial findings indicated no signs of foul play, no drug paraphernalia discovered at the scene, and no indication that her death was a suicide. Several questions remain unanswered, including whether Victoria was staying at the hotel as a guest and how she gained access to the 14th floor, where she was discovered unresponsive in a corridor by a fellow hotel guest who then alerted staff.

Victoria was the second child of Tommy Lee Jones and his second wife, Kimberlea Cloughley. She is survived by her older brother, Austin Jones, 43. Though she largely lived outside the public eye, Victoria briefly pursued an acting career as a child. She appeared alongside her famous father in films such as Men in Black II and The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, the latter of which her father directed. She also held a role in the popular television series One Tree Hill.

Despite stepping away from acting later in life, Victoria occasionally joined her father at red carpet events, offering rare glimpses into their close relationship. Tommy Lee Jones spoke fondly of his daughter in a 2006 interview with The New Yorker, praising her talent and intellect. He stated, “She is a good actress, has her sag card, speaks impeccable Spanish.” He also recounted instructing her nurse, Leticia, to speak to Victoria in Spanish when she was a baby.

The investigation into Victoria Jones’ death continues, with authorities yet to release additional details as they gather more information. The Jones family navigates this devastating loss while officials work to ascertain the exact circumstances that led to the tragic events of New Year’s Day.
