Victoria Jones, the daughter of Oscar-winning actor Tommy Lee Jones, was found dead at a San Francisco hotel on New Year's Day. She was 34 years old.
Police responded to a medical emergency at the Fairmont San Francisco around 3am on 1 January, where Jones was found unresponsive and pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities do not suspect foul play, and a cause of death has not been released. Dispatch audio obtained by TMZ described the incident as a 'code 3 for the overdose, color change'.
The family released a statement saying: 'We appreciate all of the kind words, thoughts, and prayers. Please respect our privacy during this difficult time.'
Victoria Jones was the daughter of Tommy Lee Jones and his second wife, Kimberlea Cloughley, who divorced in 1996. She appeared in films as a child, including Men in Black II and The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, and had a role in the TV series One Tree Hill.
Court records obtained by the San Francisco Chronicle show that Victoria Jones was arrested several times in 2023 on misdemeanour charges, including drug-related offences, resisting arrest, and domestic battery. In 2023, her father successfully petitioned for a temporary conservatorship, arguing she was engaging in 'life-threatening conduct' and needed drug rehabilitation.
