Victoria Kafka Jones, the daughter of actor Tommy Lee Jones, died of the “toxic effects of cocaine,” and her death has been ruled an accident, the San Francisco Office of the Chief Medical Examiner announced Tuesday in a statement provided to People.
Jones, 34, was found dead early on New Year’s Day at the Fairmont San Francisco hotel.
The cause of death was acute cocaine toxicity, according to by the Medical Examiner’s office.
San Francisco police and fire officials previously said they responded to a report of a medical emergency at the hotel at about 2:52 a.m. on Jan. 1. Upon arrival, first responders found an unresponsive woman who was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities have consistently said they did not suspect foul play.
In dispatch audio obtained by multiple media outlets at the time, the call was classified as a “code 3 for the overdose, color change.” Medical experts have said that “color change” can refer to cyanosis, a condition associated with low oxygen levels in the blood.
Jones’ family released a statement the day after her death.
“We appreciate all of the kind words, thoughts, and prayers,” it said. “Please respect our privacy during this difficult time. Thank you.”
Victoria Jones was the only daughter of Tommy Lee Jones, 79, and his second wife, Kimberlea Cloughley. The former couple also share a son, Austin Jones.
As a child, Jones appeared in several of her father’s films, including “Men in Black II” and “The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada,” and had a role in a 2005 episode of “One Tree Hill.”
Court records show she had faced misdemeanor charges in the past year, including drug-related offenses. She had pleaded not guilty in those cases, which remained pending at the time of her death.
