The cause of death has been confirmed for Tommy Lee Jones's 34-year-old daughter, who was found dead at the Fairmont Hotel the night of New Year's Eve.
Victoria Kafka Jones died of acute cocaine toxicity, according to the San Francisco Medical Examiner’s office. The medical examiner's report was first reported by People Magazine.
Jones was reportedly found unresponsive in a hallway at the Fairmont by arriving police and fire department personnel at 2:52 am on January 1. Dispatch audio that was earlier obtained by People included the phrase "Code 3 for overdose, color change," which likely referred to a blue or purple discoloration of the lips and skin that is associated with low oxygen levels in the blood.
The manner of death was ruled an "accident."
It's unclear if Jones was staying at the hotel alone, or if she was first found by a stranger in the hotel hallway.
Within hours of the death, local media was learning that this was the daughter of Oscar-winning actor Tommy Lee Jones. Victoria was the daughter of Jones and his second wife Kimberlea Cloughley, who were together until 1996, and the couple also has a son, 43-year-old Austin Jones.
It appears that Victoria Jones had been living in the Bay Area, possibly in Napa County where she had multiple arrests on her record, including a drug possession charge from May 2025, and a case involving alleged domestic violence and elder abuse from June 2025. The latter occurred at the Carneros Resort and Spa.
The Daily Mail reported that Jones had been spending time in SF's North Beach in recent months, where she was gaining a reputation at local bars for heavy drinking and even street fighting.
Victoria Jones had a brief career as a child actor, appearing in her father's film Men In Black II, and on one episode of One Tree Hill. Her last screen credit was for her father’s 2014 film, The Homesman, a period western that co-starred Hillary Swank.
The most recent available father and daughter red carpet photos are from 2017.
