The daughter of Academy Award-winning actor Tommy Lee Jones was found dead in a California hotel room on New Year's Day.
According to law enforcement sources via TMZ, 34-year-old Victoria Kafka Jones was pronounced deceased by paramedics in the early hours of New Year's Day.
A representative of the San Francisco Fire Department stated that fire units were deployed to the lodging facility at 2.52am local time in response to reports of a medical emergency.
Arriving on the scene, responding paramedics assessed an adult female before pronouncing her dead at the scene. A spokesperson for the San Francisco Police confirmed that the case was that of a deceased person found in a hotel.

They told The Daily Mail in a statement: "A white female around her mid-30s was found unresponsive, and the hotel staff was alerted.
"CPR was done, but she was pronounced deceased by the emergency/ambulance crew that responded to the scene."
The case was subsequently handed to police officers, who arrived at the hotel approximately 30 minutes later, joined by the Medical Examiner.
Her cause of death currently remains unknown; however, according to NBC Bay Area, foul play isn't suspected.
Jones is the only daughter of 79-year-old Tommy, who shared her with his second wife, Kimberlea Cloughley, to whom he was married between 1981 and 1996. The former couple also share a 42-year-old son, Austin.
Also an actress, she voiced her desire to follow in her Men In Black star father's footsteps at an early age, making her blockbuster debut with a small role in the spy film's sequel, aged just 11.
Jones later went on to appear in a series of projects whilst still a minor, including a single 2003 episode of One Tree Hill, and a small part in the western The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, which was directed by her father, two years later.
Despite landing any major roles as an adult, Jones' father previously heaped praise onto his daughter whilst promoting his western flick, telling the New Yorker in 2006: "She's a good actress, has her Sag card, speaks impeccable Spanish."
He added: "When she was a baby, I told Leticia, her nurse, to speak to her in Spanish."
The JFK actor also recounted his little girl's time on set, joking: "She had to get up at 5am for her part. One morning, she wouldn't get out of bed. I said, 'Honey, this is work,' but she wouldn't budge.
"So I fired her. Then, without telling me, the production staff went over and woke her and rushed her out to the set just in time."
