According to dispatch audio obtained by People, the emergency call was categorised as a "code 3" overdose with "colour change", a term commonly associated with cyanosis, which indicates low oxygen levels in the blood. Authorities have said there is currently no suspicion of foul play, and the official cause of death has yet to be determined.
Victoria had a brief acting career, appearing alongside her father in Men in Black II (2002), The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada (2005), and an episode of One Tree Hill in 2003. Court records indicate she had been arrested on multiple occasions in the past year, including for drug possession.
The Fairmont San Francisco issued a statement offering condolences and confirmed it is cooperating fully with police during the ongoing investigation.
