People magazine reports that Victoria died of “acute methadone and sertraline toxicity”.
Victoria was found dead on June 6 at her family’s mansion in Orlando.
Victoria Siegel was found unresponsive in her family’s Windermere home in June and was pronounced dead at the hospital.
A message left with the attorney seeking comment on the autopsy’s release was not immediately returned.
Methadone is used to treat drug addiction, while sertraline, also sold as Zoloft, is prescribed for depression.
The spokesperson said that Victoria had been working to overcome her addiction, but on the morning of her death, she allegedly received hurtful texts sent from her boyfriend’s phone that had been written by his ex.
Jackie also addressed the outrage after she was seen snapping a picture at her daughter’s funeral.

The tragic teenager’s father is the founder of Westgate Resorts, an Orlando-based timeshare empire.
The Siegels gained renown through the 2012 documentary “Queen of Versailles”, which described their efforts to build the 90,000-square-foot Versailles on Lake Butler in Orange County. In lieu of flowers, the Siegels asked that mourners honor their late daughter’s memory with contributions to the Victoria Siegel Memorial Fund, which will “help troubled teens get the guidance and assistance they need to live a healthy and positive life”. “And then he said, ‘Well, I want a health spa.’ You know, so we just kept going back and forth and adding on things”.
