The 28-year-old, who appeared as British reporter Jennifer Dugan in the blockbuster film, was found hanging from the ceiling of her home near the River Seine.
"It was a horrific scene. The young woman had taken her own life in terrible circumstances. We are not seeking anyone else. It was a clear case of suicide," said a police officer.
Agents for Oxford-born Gordon have since confirmed that the actress "ended her own days".
Gordon had appeared in over a dozen films, including The Four Feathers, Serendipity and Perfume. She had recently completed work on Vie Heroique, a biopic of singer-songwriter Serge Gainsbourg currently previewing at the Cannes Film Festival.
"We are devastated by this news. All those attending the festival had been hugely impressed by Lucy's work," said a festival organiser. "She was a star in the making."
