The cause of death for Victoria Jones - daughter of Hollywood legend Jones - has finally been revealed more than a month after she was found dead in a San Francisco hotel.
The 34‑year‑old was discovered unresponsive on the 14th floor of the Fairmont Hotel in the early hours of New Year’s Day.
On Tuesday, the San Francisco Office of the Chief Medical Examiner released a long‑awaited report stating Victoria died from the 'toxic effects of cocaine,' and officially ruled her death an accidental overdose.
Victoria - who had lived a largely private life despite her famous father - is survived by her parents, Academy Award‑winning actor Jones, 79, her mother and Tommy's ex‑wife Kimberlea Cloughley, and her brother Austin Jones.
In the hours after her death was made public, the family released a simple statement asking for privacy, saying, 'We appreciate all of the kind words, thoughts, and prayers. Please respect our privacy during this difficult time. Thank you.'

Two years before her death, the Men in Black star petitioned the court in an effort to protect his daughter through a temporary conservatorship.
According to the Marin County Superior Court docket reviewed by the Daily Mail, Jones filed the petition on August 7, 2023, seeking to establish a conservatorship for Victorria.
The Marin County Superior Court confirmed to the Daily Mail that Tommy filed in Probate Court.
The public docket doesn’t reveal the exact circumstances that led to the filing, and medical records and supporting declarations remain confidential.
At the time of the filing, however, the San Francisco Chronicle reported Victoria was being held at a hospital in Greenbrae under a 14-day psychiatric hold after authorities determined she could be a danger to herself or others.
