Michelle Trachtenberg's Cause of Death Revealed
Yara Sameh Michelle Trachtenberg died due to natural causes, as a result of complications from diabetes mellitus. The New York City Office of the Chief Medical Examiner confirmed the results to People on Wednesday. Trachtenberg was discovered unconscious and unresponsive in her Manhattan apartment on the morning of February 26. The 'Harriet the Spy' and 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' actress's family had declined an autopsy at the time after the NYPD determined that there was no evidence of foul play or criminality. Trachtenberg began acting at a young age, getting her start in commercials at three years old before landing her first TV role on the Nickelodeon series 'The Adventures of Pete & Pete' in the mid-'90s. At age 10, she scored her first major film role with 1996's 'Harriet the Spy,' in which she played the title character. In the early 2000s, Trachtenberg played Dawn Summers on the teen drama 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer,' which she joined in its fifth season and remained part of until its end in 2003. She also became well-known for her role on another teen drama, 'Gossip Girl,' as the villainous Georgina Sparks. Her character recurred throughout the show's run from 2007 to 2012, and reappeared on the short-lived 2022 reboot for two episodes. Her other film credits include 2004's 'Eurotrip,' 2005's 'Ice Princess,' and 2009's '17 Again' alongside Zac Efron. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Lifestyle Pistachio and Raspberry Cheesecake Domes Recipe News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Videos & Features Bouchra Dahlab Crowned Miss Arab World 2025 ..

Michelle Trachtenberg, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Gossip Girl" Actress, Dies at 39
Yara Sameh Michelle Trachtenberg, the actress best known for film and television roles including 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' and 'Gossip Girl,' has died. She was 39. She was found unconscious and unresponsive Wednesday in her Manhattan apartment, according to the New York City police department. According to the New York Post, Trachtenberg had recently undergone a liver transplant. The 'Harriet the Spy' actress' cause of death has not been confirmed, but the NYPD said criminality was not suspected. In a statement, NYPD said that officers responded to a 911 call just after 8 a.m. and Trachtenberg was pronounced dead by emergency medical workers, who also responded to the scene. 'It is with great sadness to confirm that Michelle Trachtenberg has passed away,' her publicist Gary Mantoosh said in a statement. 'The family requests privacy for their loss. There are no further details at this time.' Born in New York on October 11, 1985, Trachtenberg began acting at a young age. She was 3 years old when she began appearing in commercials. She soon after landed her first TV credit, on the Nickelodeon series 'The Adventures of Pete & Pete,' which aired in the mid-1990s. By age 10, she scored her first starring film role in 1996's 'Harriet the Spy,' in which she played the eponymous aspiring sleuth opposite Rosie O'Donnell and J. Smith-Cameron. Trachtenberg's breakthrough, however, was playing Dawn Summers on the teen drama 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer,' which ran on the WB in the early aughts. Trachtenberg joined the popular show in its fifth season as the younger sister of Sarah Michelle Geller's Buffy Summers and remained on the series through its seventh and final season in 2003. She found further success in another teen drama, portraying the agent of chaos known as Georgina Sparks on 'Gossip Girl,' which ran from 2007 to 2012. Trachtenberg's character, a diabolical Manhattan socialite, regularly found herself feuding, or blackmailing, with Blake Lively's Serena van der Woodsen and Leighton Meester's Blair Waldorf. She briefly reprised her role on HBO Max's 'Gossip Girl' reboot in 2022. Trachtenberg has a long list of genre-spanning credits on the big and small screen. Her film roles include 2004's 'Eurotrip,' the raunchy teen comedy that popularized the fictional song 'Scotty Doesn't Know,' and 2005's 'Ice Princess,' a comparatively wholesome film about a nerdy high schooler with a passion for figure skating. She also starred in 2009's '17 Again' with Zac Efron and Matthew Perry as well as episodes of TV shows such as 'Law & Order,' 'Clarissa Explains It All,' 'All My Children,' 'Six Feet Under' and 'Weeds.'
