Tommy Lee Jones sought court protection for his daughter Victoria two years before she died from a suspected overdose at age 34.
According to News Of Losangeles‘s review of Marin County Superior Court records, the Oscar winner filed an Aug. 7, 2023 petition requesting a temporary conservatorship over Victoria, then 31. A judge approved the emergency request within days, appointing a professional conservator to manage her personal care; the order was later extended on a short-term basis.
The public docket does not reveal medical details, but the San Francisco Chronicle reported Victoria was under a 14-day psychiatric hold in Greenbrae after authorities deemed her a danger to herself or others. The Chronicle also said Tommy’s petition noted Victoria was appealing the hold and asked that a conservator transfer her to a drug-rehab facility immediately after release.
Court records show Tommy moved to end the conservatorship on Dec. 18, 2023; the case was closed the same day.
Jan. 1, 2025, Victoria was found unresponsive in a room at San Francisco’s Fairmont Hotel. Emergency dispatch audio obtained by News Of Losangeles classified the call as “code 3 for the overdose, color change,” a reference to cyanosis. Police and fire units arrived at 2:52 a.m. and pronounced her dead. A police source told NBC Bay Area foul play is not suspected; the medical examiner has not released an official cause.
The family statement given to News Of Losangeles on Jan. 2 read: “We appreciate all of the kind words, thoughts, and prayers. Please respect our privacy during this difficult time. Thank you.”
