Michelle Trachtenberg’s death has been ruled “undetermined”. The Buffy The Vampire Slayer star was found dead on Wednesday (Feb 26) in a New York apartment at the age of 39.
While her passing is not being treated as suspicious, it is still unclear what happened to the actress.
According to US entertainment outlet People, the New York City Medical Examiner’s Office announced that Trachtenberg’s family objected to an autopsy – meaning only an external exam of her body was allowed, leading to her cause of death being ruled “undetermined”.
The actress was reported to have undergone a liver transplant recently, and over the last few years, her fans have expressed concern about her health on social media.
In 2024, Trachtenberg took to social media to explain her gaunt appearance.
In response to a question about her health, Trachtenberg replied: “Explain to me how I look sick. Did you lose a calendar and not realise I’m not 14? I’m 38. How sad for you to leave such a comment.”
