We have a very sad update on the death of Victoria Siegel . As previously reported, the 18-year old daughter of David and Jackie Siegel – who rose to fame due to a 2012 documentary titled “The Queen of Versailles” – passed away on Saturday afternoon. Her unconscious body was found around 2 p.m. and she was pronounced dead after being rushed to the hospital. We earlier confirmed that Siegel had checked out of rehab just two weeks prior to this terrible incident. And now we know why she had been there. Explained family spokesman Michael Marder via statement late Monday: “The Siegel family is devastated and heartbroken by the loss of their beloved Victoria. They are hurt, deeply wounded and they are grieving. “Victoria was a beautiful spirit with a wonderful smile who was greatly loved, and will be deeply missed. Victoria had a history of seizures and was prescribed medication for this condition. “Unfortunately she became dependent and struggled with this condition. She voluntarily underwent rehabilitation and was working hard to address this problem.” Marder said most family members were away at a wedding over the weekend, and that Victoria was discovered by the housekeeper on Saturday afternoon.
