The daughter of Academy Award-winning actor Tommy Lee Jones was discovered unresponsive on New Year’s Day at one of San Francisco’s most prestigious hotels.
The news has sent shockwaves through Hollywood as authorities work to determine what led to the tragic death of the 34-year-old woman.
Victoria Jones was discovered lying motionless on the 14th floor of the Fairmont San Francisco by another hotel patron in the early morning hours of Thursday.
The individual who made the discovery initially assumed the young woman had consumed too much alcohol and was simply sleeping it off, according to information obtained by the Daily Mail from a source familiar with the situation.
Hotel employees were notified of the situation and immediately initiated cardiopulmonary resuscitation while summoning emergency medical services.
When paramedics arrived at the scene, they pronounced Victoria Jones deceased.
The San Francisco Police Department received the emergency call at approximately 3:14 a.m. on Thursday morning.
Officers responded to what was reported as a medical emergency at the luxury Fairmont property, TMZ reported.
According to the source who spoke with the Daily Mail, investigators found no evidence suggesting criminal activity had taken place.
Additionally, no drug-related equipment or materials were discovered in the vicinity where Jones was found.
Authorities have not indicated that they are treating the death as a potential suicide.
The official cause of death will be determined by the Medical Examiner’s office following a complete investigation, according to police officials.
Questions remain about Victoria Jones’ presence at the hotel that night.
It has not been confirmed whether she was registered as a guest at the Fairmont or what circumstances brought her to the 14th floor of the building.
Victoria Jones was born to the “No Country for Old Men” star and his first wife, Kimberlea Cloughley.
During her younger years, she made appearances alongside her famous father in film productions. However, the past year had been marked by legal troubles for Victoria Jones.
Records obtained by the New York Post reveal she had been arrested on three separate occasions during the previous 12 months.
Her first arrest of the year occurred in April in Napa County.
The charges filed against her included obstructing a peace officer, being under the influence of a controlled substance, and possession of a narcotic controlled substance, according to court documentation.
Just one month later in May, Victoria Jones faced another arrest, this time in Santa Cruz County.
The specific charges from that incident were not detailed in the available records.
In June, she was arrested again in Napa County on more serious allegations.
The charges included domestic battery and domestic violence involving elder abuse, court documents indicate.
Following the June arrest, Victoria Jones was released after posting bail. She subsequently entered not guilty pleas in both of the Napa County cases, court records confirm.
The prestigious Fairmont San Francisco, where the tragedy occurred, stands as a historic landmark in the city.
The hotel has hosted countless celebrities and dignitaries throughout its long history.
Tommy Lee Jones, now 78 years old, has maintained a private personal life throughout his decades-long career in Hollywood.
The Oscar-winning actor is known for his roles in major films spanning multiple decades.
