Michelle Trachtenberg Cause Of Death Revealed
We have a cause of death for former Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Gossip
Girl star Michelle Trachtenberg.
Following a review of laboratory test results, it was determined that Trachtenberg died naturally as a result of complications from diabetes mellitus, the New York City Office of Chief Medical Examiner told
Deadline in a statement.
Trachtenberg was found unresponsive in her midtown Manhattan apartment
February 26. Paramedics pronounced her dead at the scene. No foul was suspected. She was 39.
The coroner’s office initially said her cause of death would remain undetermined because the family had requested that no autopsy be
conducted because of religious reasons. The medical examiner’s office
would automatically do an autopsy if foul play or criminality was
suspected, but there was none, so the office did not overrule the
family’s decision. Following the lab test results, the medical
examiner’s office amended the cause of death.
Trachtenberg was a lifelong actor who made her television debut in
commercials at age 3 before landing a recurring role as Lily Montgomery
on the long-running soap opera All My Children. She gained further
recognition while starring in Nickelodeon’s The Adventures of Pete &
Pete and was nominated for a Daytime Emmy for her role in Discovery children’s series Truth or Scare before landing her breakout feature
lead as Harriet M. Welsch in the 1996 Paramount film Harriet the Spy,
based on the classic children’s novel.
Trachtenberg joined Buffy the Vampire Slayer in the cult WB fantasy
series’ fifth season in 2000 as Dawn Summers, the younger sister to
Sarah Michelle Gellar’s Buffy. She went on to appear in the 2004 cult
comedy EuroTrip and Disney sports drama Ice Princess. In 2008, she
joined the cast of Gossip Girl as Georgina Sparks, the manipulative and unpredictable troublemaker who frequently threw the lives of the Upper
East Side elite into chaos. Around that same time, she also starred
opposite Zac Efron and Matthew Perry in Warner Bros’ comedy 17 Again.
Her most recent television work included guest appearances on series
such as House, Weeds, NCIS: Los Angeles, and Sleepy Hollow. She also
lent her voice to animated projects, including Robot Chicken, most
recently reprising in Max’s Gossip Girl sequel series in 2023.
