The entertainment industry was rocked by the sudden death of beloved actress Michelle Trachtenberg at the age of 39. Known for her iconic roles in “Gossip Girl” and “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” Trachtenberg’s passing has left fans and colleagues mourning. The cause of her death, as revealed by the Office of Chief Medical Examiner in New York City, has been ruled as undetermined.
The Official Statement
According to a statement shared with www.usatoday.com, the Office of Chief Medical Examiner stated that both the cause and manner of Trachtenberg’s death were undetermined. This ruling can mean either that there was inadequate information to assess how she died or that the information was conflicting, with equal amounts supporting or negating a specific “manner” of death, such as natural or accidental.
Trachtenberg’s family declined an autopsy, and the medical examiner’s office honored that request, as reported by CNN and ABC News. USA TODAY reached out to Trachtenberg’s representative for comment but has yet to receive a response.
