THE cause of death of Victoria Jones, the daughter of Hollywood legend Tommy Lee Jones, has been revealed after more than a month.
The 34-year-old was tragically found dead at a luxury San Francisco hotel in the early hours of New Year’s Day.
Officials have now confirmed the former child star died from a cocaine overdose.
A harrowing 911 call came in to emergency services at 2:52am on January 1 saying a woman had suffered a suspected overdose.
Staff thought Jones had been drinking when they found her lying on the ground on the 14th floor of the ritzy Fairmont hotel.
She was spotted by a guest who thought she “might be drunk”, a source told The Daily Mail.
Paramedics rushed to save her, but desperate attempts to revive her failed and she was pronounced dead at the scene.
The initial investigation ruled out foul play and stated that there were no signs of drugs around the body.
Today, the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in San Francisco announced that Victoria’s death was due to the “toxic effects of cocaine” and ruled it an accident.
Victoria Kafka Jones was the daughter of the actor Tommy and his ex-wife Kimberlea Cloughley, who divorced in 1996.

Her heartbroken family spoke out the day following her death, saying: “We appreciate all of the kind words, thoughts, and prayers.
“Please respect our privacy during this difficult time. Thank you.”
Victoria acted as a child, appearing in Men in Black II and later The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada.
She also made a one-episode appearance on One Tree Hill.
Although she stepped away from acting, Victoria still appeared with her father at public events.
In the year before her death, Victoria was arrested at least twice, court records show.
A police report was made in April last year by her husband, Navek Ceja, 44, who alleged she had been taking cocaine, the Daily Mail reports.
He claimed his wife had been using the drug over a 48 hour period while staying at his family’s luxury winery in Napa.
Cops arrived at the scene and said Jones was talking quickly and “was fighting with her body movements”.
She tried to fight away the officers and claimed the 911 call was a mistake, the report adds.
Jones later admitted to using cocaine and was taken to a local jail where officers found a white powder inside her coat.
She was charged with being under the influence of drugs, resisting arrest and possessing a controlled substance.
Two months later, Jones and Ceja reportedly got into a heated fight at the Carneros Resort and Spa in Sonoma.
Ceja, 44, told police that they got into an argument after he confronted her about her drug and alcohol use.
Jones allegedly slapped Ceja around the face twice.
Police were called and Jones was arrested and taken back to the Napa County Jail where she was charged with a misdemeanour domestic violence charge.
Both of the cases were never resolved with Jones due to be in court on the domestic violence count on January 20.
