A rep for Queen of Versailles ' stars David and Jackie Siegel has confirmed that their 18-year-old daughter, Victoria Siegel, who died on Saturday, was battling an addition to prescription drugs, reports Us Weekly. The family first gained notoriety when they were the subjects of a 2012 documentary about building a 90,000 square-foot Florida estate in the middle of the financial crisis.

The family's spokesman, Michael Marder, said in a statement:

    “The Siegel family is devastated and heartbroken by the loss of their beloved Victoria, age 18. 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 also said that Victoria was found around 2 p.m. Saturday by the housekeeper, since the family was away at a wedding.

The statement went on, “While an autopsy has been performed the cause of death has not been determined. It is likely that Victoria ingested one or more drugs prior to her death, however, we cannot determine at this time whether or not the drugs she took were in fact prescribed medication, something else, or where and how these drugs may have been obtained."

Marder’s statement adds that the investigation is ongoing and the family is still awaiting the results of a toxicology report. “The family is deeply appreciative of the outpouring of support that they have received and request that their privacy be respected while they mourn their loss,” his statement concluded.

Jackie Siegel confirmed the death on Sunday with a Facebook post. "It is with great sadness that we ask you to respect our privacy during this tragic time and the loss of our beloved daughter, Victoria. Thank you all for your prayers and for your support."
