New tragic details are emerging of the death of actor Tommy Lee Jones’ daughter Victoria on New Year’s Day.
Victoria, 34, was found in the early hours of Jan. 1 at a San Francisco hotel. Paramedics arrived to a reported medical emergency at the $500-a-night Fairmont Hotel at approximately 3:14 AM, where an adult female was pronounced dead at the scene, according to TMZ.

According to Page Six, a hotel guest found Victoria and called the staff at the Fairmont, believing she was passed out drunk. A San Francisco fire department spokesperson told Page Six that “bystanders were given instructions for CPR.”
TMZ obtained audio from the city’s dispatchers, which came in as a code 3 “for the overdose, color change.” An overdose with a “color change” most commonly refers to cyanosis, or discoloration of the skin, lips, or fingernails caused by a lack of oxygen in the blood.
The cause of death has not yet been confirmed. No signs of foul play, or that Victoria had taken her own life, were found.
