This is just heartbreaking.
More than a month after she was tragically found dead, the official cause of death for Victoria Jones has finally been confirmed — and the details are deeply upsetting.

On Tuesday, the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in San Francisco announced that Victoria, who was the 34-year-old daughter of legendary Oscar winner Tommy Lee Jones, died from the toxic effects of cocaine. As such, her manner of death has been ruled an accident.
So, so sad…
As we previously reported, according to authorities, Victoria was found unresponsive at a San Francisco hotel in the early hours of January 1 after emergency crews responded to a medical call around 2:52 a.m. that morning.
Just one day after her passing, the family released a brief statement asking for privacy while thanking the public for their thoughts and prayers. Victoria was born during Tommy’s marriage to Kimberlea Cloughley, and the former couple also share a son, Austin Jones.
Our hearts go out to her family as they continue to navigate this unimaginable loss.
