Victoria Jones, the daughter of actor Tommy Lee Jones, was found dead at a California hotel on New Year’s Day. Authorities responded to an early morning emergency call reported as a suspected overdose, with officials confirming an adult female was pronounced dead at the scene.
According to media reports, law enforcement and emergency responders were dispatched to a California hotel in the early hours of New Year’s Day after receiving a call classified as a suspected overdose. Broadcastify dispatch audio cited by TMZ indicated a “code 3 for the overdose, color change,” terminology commonly used by first responders to signal a high-priority medical emergency involving changes in skin coloration.
A spokesperson for the San Francisco Police Department told TMZ that officers arrived at the hotel at approximately 3:14 a.m. after a report of a deceased person. At the scene, officers encountered paramedics, who pronounced an adult female dead. The spokesperson stated that there were no immediate signs of foul play observed by responding officers.
An overdose described with a “color change” often refers to cyanosis. The Cleveland Clinic defines cyanosis as a bluish or purplish discoloration of the skin, lips, or fingernails caused by reduced oxygen levels in the blood. This explanation was provided for general understanding and was not presented as an official cause of death.
Although drug paraphernalia was not found at the scene and the authorities have not indicated any evidence pointing to suicide. As of the latest update, the official cause of death has not been determined, and investigators have not released additional medical findings.
