Tragedy struck on New Year’s Day when Victoria Jones, daughter of Hollywood star Tommy Lee Jones, was found dead in an upscale San Francisco hotel at the age of 34.

The San Francisco Fire Department told the Daily Mail they responded to a medical call at 2:52 am. Thursday at the Fairmont San Francisco. Emergency personnel assessed the scene and pronounced one person dead. The San Francisco Police Department and Medical Examiner also responded, but the cause of death has not yet been determined.

According to sources, hotel staff alerted authorities after finding a woman in her mid-30s unresponsive. CPR was administered, but she was declared dead at the scene. The woman was confirmed to be Victoria. TMZ first reported the incident, noting that police took over the scene after the death was confirmed.

While she has not acted recently, she occasionally attended red carpet events with her father.

A spokesperson for the San Francisco Police Department confirmed officers responded at approximately 3:14 a.m. to a report of a deceased person at the hotel on the 900 block of Mason Street. Medics had already declared the woman deceased, and the Medical Examiner conducted an investigation.
