Tommy Lee Jones’ daughter Victoria was found dead in an upscale San Francisco hotel aged 34, in the small hours of the morning on New Year’s Day.
Paramedics discovered her body just before 3am at the Fairmont San Francisco, then transferred the investigation to the police, TMZ reports. The Daily Mail has confirmed that the deceased was Victoria.
The San Francisco Fire Department confirmed to the Daily Mail that they responded to a call for medical aid at 2:52am Thursday at the address of the Fairmont.
Emergency personnel performed an assessment and pronounced one person dead at the scene. The San Francisco Police Department and the San Francisco Medical Examiner also responded. The cause of death remains unknown.
‘A white female around her mid-30s was found unresponsive and the hotel staff was alerted,’ a source informed the Daily Mail. ‘CPR was done, but she was pronounced deceased by the emergency/ambulance crew that responded to the scene.’
Jones welcomed Victoria and his son Austin, 42, with his second wife Kimberlea Cloughley, whom he was married to from 1981 to 1996.

Victoria Kafka Jones was born on September 3, 1991, and by 2002 she had made her movie debut with a small part in her father’s picture Men in Black II.
She appeared in a handful of acting projects as a child, including a 2005 episode of One Tree Hill and a role that same year the Western picture The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, which was directed by her father.
Although she has not acted since her teenage role as a cheerleader on One Tree Hill, she has attended the occasional red carpet alongside Jones as an adult.
In 2017, she posed proudly at his side at the ArcLight Hollywood for the premiere of his movie Just Getting Started, also starring Morgan Freeman and Rene Russo.
She also made an appearance with her father in October 2017 at the opening of that year’s Tokyo International Film Festival, where he was serving as president of the international competition jury.
Jones showered praise on his daughter during a 2006 interview promoting The Three Burials of Melquiades after he directed her in the feature.
‘She’s a good actress, has her SAG card, speaks impeccable Spanish,’ he said. ‘When she was a baby, I told Leticia, her nurse, to speak to her in Spanish.’
He also related a charming anecdote about having to acclimatize his then 14-year-old daughter to the rigors of working on a Hollywood movie set.
‘She had to get up at 5 a.m. for her part. One morning, she wouldn’t get out of bed. I said, ‘Honey, this is work.’ But she wouldn’t budge,’ he told the New Yorker.
‘So I fired her. Then, without telling me, the production staff went over and woke her and rushed her out to the set just in time,’ he recalled.
