"The club will be making no further comment at this stage and we ask you respect our wishes as we grieve for our young striker."
Jones, who last season earned a call-up to the England Under-19 squad, was set to miss the match with a foot injury.
He joined the club at the age of 15 and made his professional debut against Watford in April 2006.
The striker went on to make 35 appearances in all competitions last term - scoring six goals.
QPR rejected a £200,000 bid from Colchester for Jones at the end of last season.
He had yet to feature this season but was highly-rated by the club and had also attracted interest from Premier League clubs.
Jones would have been 19 on Tuesday.
Last year QPR were struck by tragedy when youth team player Kiyan Prince was stabbed to death outside his school at the age of 15. BBC
