- Michelle Trachtenberg’s cause of death remains undetermined officially following her family’s objection to an autopsy.
- Trachtenberg had recently undergone a liver transplant which may have been related to her death.
- The NYPD confirmed no foul play was suspected in her death.
Michelle Trachtenberg, known for her roles in “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Gossip Girl,” was found dead in her New York City home on Wednesday.
The reason for her death remains uncertain since her family opted out of an autopsy, as per New York State regulations. This decision has hindered determining the exact cause of her death.
Not long ago, Michelle Trachtenberg had a liver transplant, a usually effective procedure that could result in issues such as infections or blood clotting.
It remains uncertain whether these complications played a role in her death. The NYPD has stated that there is no suspicion of foul play, and she was declared dead by emergency medical personnel after being found unconscious and unresponsive.
The New York City Office of Chief Medical Examiner had initially intended to perform an autopsy to establish the cause and manner of death. However, after the family’s objection, the office respected their wishes, resulting in the cause of death being officially classified as undetermined.
Trachtenberg’s acting journey began as a child star, with memorable roles in “The Adventure of Pete & Pete” and the movie “Harriet the Spy.”
She became widely recognized for her role as Dawn Summers in “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and Georgina Sparks in “Gossip Girl.” Despite fans expressing concerns about her health due to her appearance, Trachtenberg had reassured them she was “happy and healthy” in her recent social media updates.
