Tommy Lee Jones’s daughter, Victoria Jones, may have died of a drug overdose, an emergency dispatch reveals.
Victoria, who was 34, was found unresponsive early on Thursday, Jan. 1 at the San Francisco Fairmont Hotel, where she was pronounced dead, PEOPLE previously reported. In dispatch audio obtained by PEOPLE, the call for the incident was classified as a “code 3 for the overdose, color change.”
In overdose cases, “color change” refers to cyanosis — low oxygen levels in the blood, often linked to heart or lung issues, per Cleveland Clinic — which causes a blue or purple discoloration of skin, lips, and nails.
