Victoria Jones, daughter of Hollywood legend Tommy Lee Jones, tragically passed away from a suspected overdose, shedding light on a troubling chapter in her life. Married to a prosperous Napa vineyard owner, her final months were marked by disputes over her drug habit, the Daily Mail exclusively reported.

The 34-year-old was found lifeless in the upscale Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco during the early hours of New Year’s Day. Emergency services logged the incident as a code three, indicating an overdose with visible physical changes, as confirmed by audio from the San Francisco Fire Department.

Victoria’s battle with substance abuse was not new. In April, she faced arrest by the Napa Police Department after a two-day cocaine bender. Her husband, Navek Ceja, aged 44, alerted authorities, reporting that she had been using the drug continuously for 48 hours.

Officers responded to distress calls at Ceja Vineyards, the renowned family-owned winery in Napa, where they encountered a disoriented Jones. Despite her insistence that the emergency call was a mistake, her condition painted a concerning picture.

Husband Navek Ceja, 44, told them that his wife had been taking the drug for 48 hours when they were called to his family’s prestigious winery, Ceja Vineyards in Napa, just past midnight late last April.

According to the report, police were dispatched after being told of a woman in distress. They arrived at the ‘ultra-premium’ winery to discover an incoherent Jones who told them the 911 call had been a ‘mistake’.

Police said Jones was talking rapidly, ‘was fighting with her body movements’ and had dried blood on one nostril.

She also had a ‘white residue’ on her tongue and admitted to using the drug but fought with cops when they arrested her.

After being booked into the Napa County Jail, a small plastic baggie containing white powder was found in her coat and she was later charged with being under the influence of drugs, resisting arrest and possessing a controlled substance.

Two months later, Jones was collared again – this time over a fight she and Ceja had at the upscale Carneros Resort and Spa in Sonoma, where rooms start at $935-a-night.

Charging documents obtained by the Daily Mail show she and Ceja had come to blows over her continued drug use and boozing, with the 44-year-old left with a reddened face after an enraged Jones allegedly slapped his face twice.

Jones was arrested again after the incident and carted off to the Napa County Jail where she was slapped with a single charge of misdemeanor domestic violence.

A mugshot taken after the fight, and exclusively obtained by the Daily Mail, shows Jones looking shame-faced and with a small mark visible underneath her eye.

Both cases were still pending at the time of her death, with Jones due back in court on the domestic violence count on January 20.

Navek Ceja has not responded to the Daily Mail’s request for comment.

Law enforcement sources told the Daily Mail that Jones was staying at the Fairmont for at least three days before she was found unresponsive and later died at the scene.

The insider said Jones’ family called cops multiple times when they did not hear back from the 34-year-old for days.

One of the ‘well-being’ checks requested by her family last year was because of her suspected drug use, the source said.

In San Francisco too, she had a reputation for heavy drinking – with one local telling the Daily Mail she was a ‘notorious boozer known to be easy with her fists’.

She had a reputation in North Beach,’ said the source, who did not want to be named.

’She spent a lot of time palling around getting drunk in all sorts of confrontations at bars and restaurants.

‘A lot of people say she just got into drunken fights, commotions over the course of time there.’

North Beach is a historic Italian neighborhood a short distance from the Fairmont Hotel, where she was found unresponsive on the 14th floor.

The San Francisco Police Department is asking anyone with information about Victoria’s untimely death to contact the department.

‘On 1/1/26 at approximately 3:14am, San Francisco Police officers responded to a hotel located on the 900 block of Mason Street regarding a report of a deceased person,’ a spokesperson said.

‘At the scene, officers met with medics, who declared the adult female deceased. The Medical Examiner arrived on scene and conducted an investigation. 

Anyone with information is asked to contact the SFPD at 415-575-4444 or Text a Tip to TIP411 and begin the message with SFPD.’
