Autopsy completed on Victoria Siegel

WINDERMERE — The investigation continues into the death of Victoria Siegel, 18, who died June 6.

She was the daughter of Westgate Resorts founder and CEO David Siegel and Jackie Siegel, who were made famous in a 2012 documentary, “The Queen of Versailles.”

At about 2 p.m. Saturday, June 6, Victoria Siegel was found by a housekeeper at the Siegels’ Windermere residence, Orange County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Jeff Williamson said.

She was taken to Health Central Hospital in Ocoee, but resuscitation efforts were unsuccessful. 

“The Siegel family is devastated and heartbroken by the loss of their beloved Victoria,” a family representative wrote on Jackie Siegel’s Facebook page. “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.”

According to the post, Victoria had a history of seizures and was prescribed medication for this condition. She became dependent on the medication but had voluntarily gone into rehabilitation. 

David and Jackie Siegel family were attending a wedding in Park City, Utah, when they were notified. They flew home immediately.

An autopsy has been performed, but the cause of death has not yet 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,” the representative wrote. 

David Siegel is the founder of Westgate Resorts, a timeshare company, and also owns the Orlando Predators arena football team. 

“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,” the representative wrote.
