The occasional actress was found dead at a hotel in San Francisco early on New Year's Day
Victoria Jones, the daughter of Oscar-winner Tommy Lee Jones, who appeared alongside her father in several of his films, was found dead at a San Francisco hotel room on New Year’s Day, according to The Hollywood Reporter. She was 34.
Jones was reportedly found unresponsive at the Fairmont Hotel on Thursday, Jan. 1. A cause of death has not yet been given, though in police dispatch audio obtained by People, the call for the incident was classified as “code three,” suggesting a possible overdose.
In a statement shared with Rolling Stone, the San Francisco Fire Department confirmed it responded to a “report of a medical emergency” at the Fairmont at around 2:52 a.m. on New Year’s Day. “Upon arrival, paramedics from the fire department performed an assessment,” the statement continued. “The person was declared deceased.”
The San Francisco Police Department and the Medical Examiner arrived soon after and “and conducted an investigation,” the SFPD said.
A representative for Tommy Lee Jones did not immediately return a request for comment.
Victoria was one of two children Jones had with his second wife, Kimberlea Cloughley. The couple were married from 1981 to 1996 and also had a son, Austin, who is 43.

When she was younger, Victoria appeared in several of her father’s movies. She had a cameo in Men in Black II and appeared in The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, which Jones also directed. She also had a small part in the 2005 film Sorry, Haters, and popped up in an episode of One Tree Hill. She made her last on-screen appearance in 2014’s The Homesman, which Jones also directed and starred in.
Over the past year, Victoria had at least two run-ins with law enforcement. According to court records, she was arrested last April in Napa County, California, and faced three misdemeanor charges, including possession and being under the influence of a controlled substance without a valid prescription. Two months later, she was arrested again, this time charged with domestic battery. In both cases, Victoria pleaded not guilty.
