The cause of Victoria Jones’ death, daughter of actor Tommy Lee Jones, has been determined as an ‘accident’ following the medical examiner’s conclusion of ‘toxic effects of cocaine.’
The 34-year-old was found at the Fairmont hotel in San Francisco on Thursday, January 1, after experiencing a medical emergency.
Emergency dispatch audio acquired by People indicated the situation was classified as a ‘Code 3 for the overdose, color change’.
This categorization pertains to overdose victims who may exhibit a blue or purple tint due to cyanosis, a condition resulting from insufficient oxygen supply.
The San Francisco Fire Department reported that paramedics answered a call at the hotel around 2:52 am. Upon arrival with the paramedics, they encountered a deceased person.
Despite efforts from emergency services and bystanders performing CPR, Jones was declared dead on the spot.
In light of the conditions surrounding her death, the San Francisco Police Department and Medical Examiner took over the case, though early reports suggested no foul play was suspected.
This remains consistent with the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in San Francisco, which announced on Tuesday, February 17, that her death was attributable to ‘toxic effects of cocaine’, and deemed it accidental.
After Victoria’s passing earlier this year, Tommy Lee Jones, a renowned actor, released a statement through his agent: “We appreciate all of the kind words, thoughts, and prayers. Please respect our privacy during this difficult time. Thank you.”
Victoria was the daughter of Tommy and his ex-wife, Kimberlea Cloughley, and she had a brother, Austin Jones, who is 43 years old.
Born in 1991, Victoria developed an early interest in acting, even sharing the screen with her father in Men in Black II.
Eager to establish her own career, she later appeared in several other works, including One Tree Hill and The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada.
However, in recent years, Victoria chose to withdraw from the limelight, occasionally making appearances to support her father at red carpet events.
She also encountered legal issues, being arrested at least twice in the year preceding her death, including once for drug possession.
