New details have emerged surrounding the death of Victoria Jones, the daughter of actor Tommy Lee Jones, after the 34-year-old was found deceased in the early hours of New Year’s Day at a San Francisco hotel.
Initial reports confirmed that emergency services were dispatched to the Fairmont Hotel shortly before 3 a.m. on January 1, following reports of a medical emergency. At the time, the San Francisco Fire Department stated that paramedics had been called to the scene at approximately 2:52 a.m., with bystanders attempting to assist before first responders arrived.
“Bystanders were given instructions for CPR according to CAD records.”
According to newly reported information from TMZ, Victoria was first discovered by another hotel guest just hours into 2026. The guest allegedly believed she was intoxicated and had passed out, not realizing the seriousness of the situation at the time. TMZ reports that she was found on the 14th floor of the Fairmont Hotel.
The Daily Mail further claims that after noticing Victoria was unresponsive, the guest alerted hotel staff. When employees arrived to check on her, it reportedly became clear that something was gravely wrong. Emergency efforts began immediately as staff and responders attempted to revive her, but those attempts were unsuccessful.
San Francisco police later confirmed their involvement in the incident. In an official statement, a spokesperson for the San Francisco Police Department outlined the timing and location of their response.

“On 1/1/26 at approximately 3:14 a.m., San Francisco Police officers responded to a hotel located on the 900 block of Mason Street regarding a report of a deceased person.”
Authorities have not yet released a cause of death, and the investigation remains ongoing. However, early indications suggest that foul play is not suspected. A source reportedly present at the scene told the Daily Mail that there were no immediate signs pointing to criminal involvement.
“There were no signs of foul play, such as trauma to the body, and police did not find any drug paraphernalia on the scene. There were also no signs that Victoria may have taken her own life.”
Officials have emphasized that final conclusions will depend on the medical examiner’s findings, which are expected to take time. Until then, law enforcement has refrained from speculating publicly about what may have led to her death.
Victoria Jones was born to Tommy Lee Jones and his first wife, Kimberlea Cloughley. Though she largely stayed out of the public eye in recent years, she had early exposure to Hollywood and briefly followed in her father’s footsteps as an actress.
She made her acting debut in 2002 with a role in Men in Black II, appearing alongside her father in the blockbuster franchise. She later took on roles in the television series One Tree Hill and the critically acclaimed film The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada. The latter project was directed by Tommy Lee Jones and also involved Victoria’s stepmother, Dawn Laurel-Jones, who served as the film’s stills photographer, making it a rare family collaboration.
Despite those early credits, Victoria gradually stepped away from acting and chose a far more private life. In recent years, she avoided regular media attention, though she occasionally accompanied her father to film premieres and red carpet events, offering brief glimpses into their close relationship.
The news of her death has sent shockwaves through both Hollywood and the wider public, particularly given her young age and the limited information available so far. As condolences continue to pour in, many have expressed sympathy for Tommy Lee Jones and his family as they grieve the sudden loss.
At this stage, authorities have reiterated that there is no indication of foul play, and the case is being treated as an apparent medical emergency pending further examination. More details are expected to be released once the investigation and autopsy are complete.
Victoria Jones is remembered as a talented woman who briefly experienced life in the spotlight before choosing a quieter path away from it. She was 34 years old.
Rest in peace, Victoria Jones.
