Now, according to a report released yesterday by the San Francisco Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, Victoria’s manner of demise was ruled an “accident.”

The medical examiner’s report further stated that actor Tommy Lee Jones’ daughter passed away due to “toxic effects of co**ine.”

The ruling coincides with multiple reports that the call logged by the San Francisco Fire Department on January 1 was a “code three for the ove**ose, color change.”

Color change in ove**ose cases typically refers to cyanosis, or low oxygen levels in the blood.

Reportedly, the 34-year-old encountered issues with law enforcement last year and was arrested at least three times.

Court documents showed that in April last year, she was taken into custody in Napa County on charges including obstructing a peace officer, being under the influence, and possession of an illegal substance.

Comment about celebrity families and lifestyle on social media, discussing Tommy Lee Jones’ daughter’s cause of passing.

Victoria’s husband, Navek Ceja, had reportedly filed a police report against her, alleging she had been using co**ine for 48 hours, per the Daily Mail.

When officers arrived, they noted she was speaking rapidly and “fighting with her body movements.”

“Doesn’t matter it is sad and no parent should have to bury a child condolences to him and his family,” sympathized several netizens

She was arrested after officers found white powder in her coat, and she admitted to using dr*gs.

She was later arrested again in June in Napa County on charges related to domestic battery and alleged domestic violence, after she allegedly slapped her husband twice in the face when he confronted her about her dr*g and al**hol misuse.

Both cases remained unresolved following Victoria’s passing, as she was due back in court on the domestic violence charge on January 20.

Moreover, as per a report by the San Francisco Chronicle, her father Tommy successfully petitioned for a temporary conservatorship in August 2023 to move Victoria from an involuntary 14-day psychiatric hold at a hospital to a dr*g rehabilitation facility.

He argued she was exhibiting “life-threatening conduct” and needed professional help to recover and work toward sobriety.

Months prior to her passing, Victoria had faced multiple legal troubles and arrests, and was due back in court for a hearing in January this year

Victoria, then 31, fought the conservatorship, with her attorney arguing she was an “independent woman.”

However, by the end of 2023, the Men in Black actor filed to end the conservatorship, which was officially terminated in December 2023.

With the medical examiner’s “accident” ruling, the investigation into Victoria’s passing has been effectively closed.

“My condolences to the family in the time of loss. No one should out live their child,” sympathized one netizen, while another added, “Let’s respect their privacy and allow the family to grieve in peace.”

“What a shame. [Tommy] is such a great actor and I am sure he loved her dearly. No one should blame him for her mistakes.”

“If celebrities would keep their families away from California and… that lifestyle until they’re adults they wouldn’t succumb to it,” wrote one netizen
