On Thursday (January 1), Victoria Kafka Jones, the daughter of actor Tommy Lee Jones, was found unresponsive at a hotel in California.
First responders were reportedly alerted to the situation and performed CPR, but after an Emergency personnel’s assessment, Jones was pronounced deceased.
Initially, she was believed to be intoxicated after a guest at the same hotel discovered her passed out.
Highlights

An insider told the Daily Mail that authorities remain uncertain about how Jones reached the 14th floor and whether she was a guest at the hotel. The police arrived on the scene at 3:14 a.m. and found no signs of foul play in the incident.

A dispatch audio obtained by TMZ revealed that the incident was reported as a “code 3” substance-related medical emergency. However, the police reportedly did not find any equipment used to administer controlled substances.
There were also no signs of trauma on the victim’s body. As a result, the police ruled out the possibility of Jones taking her own life.
“At the scene, officers met with medics, who declared the adult female deceased. The Medical Examiner arrived on scene and conducted an investigation,” a spokesperson for SFPD told the publication.

The exact cause of Jones’ demise is yet to be determined by the medical examiner, making the circumstances surrounding the incident even more mysterious. The SFPD has asked anyone with knowledge of the events leading up to the 34-year-old’s passing to contact them.

According to legal records obtained by the New York Post, Jones had several brushes with law enforcement in the past year. The documents revealed that the No Country For Old Men star’s daughter had been arrested three times in 2025.
In April, she was arrested for allegedly obstructing a peace officer in Napa County, California. She was reportedly under the influence of a controlled substance and was found in possession of a narcotic substance.
A month later, in May, she was arrested in Santa Cruz County, but the charges in this instance remain unspecified. Jones was apprehended in Napa County for a second time in June.
She was charged with domestic battery and domestic violence/elder ab*se, and later released on bail. Court records revealed that the former child actress had pleaded not guilty in both Napa County-based cases.

Jones is survived by her family, including her father, Tommy Lee Jones, her mother, Kimberlea Cloughley, and brother, Austin. She had initially followed in her father’s footsteps, making her acting debut as a child in 2002’s Men in Black II.
In 2005, she appeared in an episode of the hit teen drama series One Tree Hill, playing a cheerleader. The same year, she appeared in the Western drama movie The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, directed by her father.
“She’s a good actress, has her SAG card, speaks impeccable Spanish,” the Academy Award-winning actor said of his then 14-year-old daughter.

In the past decade, Jones had largely stepped away from acting but made sporadic public appearances. Jones last appeared on screen in 2014’s The Homesman, which her father also directed. “RIP and condolences to the family,” one concerned social media user said.
“What a tragedy.” Netizens shared condolences for Tommy Lee Jones and his family
