AceShowbiz - One of the daughters of billionaire couple David and Jackie Siegel, Victoria Siegel, died at the age of 18 on Saturday, June 6. The star of "The Queen of Versailles" was pronounced dead after she was found unresponsive at the family's mansion in Florida.
Orange County sheriff's spokesman Jeff Williamson said that the 18-year-old girl was found unresponsive at the Siegels' Seagull Island mansion on Green Island Cove just after 2 P.M. on Saturday. She was rushed to Health Central Hospital in Ocoee where she was pronounced dead. However, the cause and manner of the death are still under investigation.

The film is about the construction process of their luxurious 90,000 square-foot mansion which began in 2004. The construction was halted in 2008 due to global economic crisis. As his company's finances have improved, the construction resumes with completion scheduled for 2016.
