The medical examiners have finally revealed the official cause of death of 34-year-old Victoria Jones, the youngest daughter of legendary actor Tommy Lee Jones. According to the official report, she passed away due to acute cocaine poisoning.
It all happened on January 1, 2026, at the luxurious Fairmont Hotel atop Nob Hill. In the early hours of the new year, one of the guests noticed a girl lying motionless and assumed she had simply overindulged in alcohol. He called the staff. Hotel employees rushed to Victoria's aid, attempted to revive her, but the paramedics who arrived could do nothing — death was pronounced at 3:14 AM. The police immediately ruled out foul play. Now her death has been classified as an accident — a tragic overdose.
Victoria was born in 1991 to Tommy Lee Jones and his first wife, Kimberly Claflin (they divorced in 1996). In her childhood and youth, she tried her hand at acting: she appeared in "Men in Black 2" alongside her father, was featured in "One Tree Hill," and in the drama "The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada." But over time, she stepped away from the screen. Occasionally, she could still be seen on red carpets alongside her famous father.
Unfortunately, the last years of her life were filled with heavy trials. In 2023, Tommy Lee Jones even arranged for temporary guardianship to help his daughter after a mental breakdown and hospitalization — he wanted to transfer her to a rehabilitation center. In 2025, Victoria was arrested twice: in the spring — for driving under the influence of drugs, possession of illegal substances, and resisting arrest (a suspicious white powder was found on her), and in the summer — for a violent altercation with an elderly person. In both cases, she did not admit guilt.
In the early hours following the tragedy, the actor's family released a short but painful statement: "We are deeply grateful for your support, thoughts, and prayers. Please allow us to grieve this loss in silence and privacy." For the 79-year-old Oscar winner, this loss was a devastating blow.
