San Francisco Police and San Francisco Fire Department both responded to a report of a medical emergency at the San Francisco Fairmont on Jan. 1 at 2:52 a.m., as both departments confirmed to PEOPLE. Upon arrival at the scene, they found a deceased individual who was unnamed at the time.
NBC Bay Area later reported the woman found dead at the hotel was believed to be Victoria, citing a police source. In dispatch audio obtained by PEOPLE, the call for the incident was classified as a “code 3 for the overdose, color change.” In overdose cases, “color change” refers to cyanosis — low oxygen levels in the blood, often linked to heart or lung issues, per Cleveland Clinic — which causes a blue or purple discoloration of skin, lips, and nails.
