Tommy Lee Jones’ daughter Victoria found dead in San Francisco hotel
Victoria Jones, daughter of award-winning actor Tommy Lee Jones, was found dead in the hallway of a San Francisco hotel. She was 34 years old.
The cause of death of Tommy Lee Jones’ daughter Victoria Jones (34) has been announced.
Victoria Jones, the youngest child of Tommy Lee Jones and his ex-wife Kimberly Crawley, died from “the toxic effects of cocaine,” according to a San Francisco chief medical examiner’s certificate, a spokesperson confirmed to USA TODAY on February 17. Her death was ruled an accident.
People were the first to report the news. USA TODAY has reached out to Tommy Lee Jones’ representatives for comment.
The 34-year-old woman was found dead in the hallway of a San Francisco hotel in the early hours of January 1st. Paramedics arrived just before 3 a.m. and pronounced her dead, the San Francisco Fire Department told USA TODAY on Jan. 2.
“We appreciate all the kind words, thoughts and prayers,” her family said in a statement to USA TODAY at the time. “Please respect our privacy during this difficult time.”
Crawley and Tommy Lee Jones, who were married from 1981 to 1996, also have a son, Austin Jones. Jones married his current wife, Dawn Laurel, in 2001.
Victoria Jones’ first film credit was in 2002’s Men in Black II, in which her father reprized his role as Agent K.
She also had a small role in the 2005 film The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, directed by and starring Tommy Lee Jones, and appeared in an episode of One Tree Hill that same year.
Victoria Jones was appointed conservator several years before her death.
After her death, Tommy Lee Jones’ motion to place his daughter into a court-ordered conservatorship two years ago received new attention.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported on January 2 that records in California’s Marin County Superior Court show that the 79-year-old “Fugitive” actor successfully petitioned to be appointed a conservator to oversee his daughter.
Tommy Lee Jones’ petition, filed on Aug. 7, 2023, was approved later that month, according to court records reviewed by USA TODAY on Jan. 14. On December 13, 2023, Jones filed a petition to terminate her temporary conservatorship. A few days later, the petition was granted.
In a general conservatorship, a court can appoint a guardian for a person deemed unable to care for his or her own needs. Their “conservator has all powers and responsibilities, except those determined to be unnecessary,” according to the California courts’ website.
Victoria Jones’ attorney in the guardianship case declined to comment to USA TODAY.
