She was found unresponsive at San Francisco’s Fairmont Hotel and pronounced dead after paramedics arrived. No official cause of death has been released, though authorities do not suspect foul play. Dispatch records noted the incident as a possible overdose.

Court records reviewed by PEOPLE show that Victoria had been arrested at least twice in the year leading up to her death. On April 28, 2025, she was taken into custody in Napa County, California, and charged with three misdemeanors: obstructing a peace officer, being under the influence of a controlled substance without a prescription, and possession of a controlled substance without a prescription. She pleaded not guilty.

Nearly two months later, on June 17, 2025, Victoria was detained again in Napa County on a misdemeanor domestic battery charge, entering a not guilty plea on July 1.

Victoria Jones had small acting roles in her father’s projects, including Men in Black II (2002) and The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada (2005), as well as a 2005 episode of One Tree Hill. Her last credited role was in 2014’s The Horseman, directed by Tommy Lee Jones.

In a 2006 New Yorker profile, Tommy Lee Jones spoke about working with his teenage daughter, noting her talent and dedication to learning Spanish, but also describing challenges with her work ethic on set. Despite these hurdles, Victoria pursued her acting career alongside her father’s guidance.

Victoria Jones’ death marks a tragic loss for the family, highlighting both her personal struggles and her early contributions to film.
