Former youngster star Michelle Trachtenberg has died at age 39.
The Publish broke the information on Wednesday, Feb. 26. In keeping with sources, the “Gossip Girl” star underwent a liver transplant shortly earlier than her loss of life.
Her reason for loss of life has not been made clear, however insiders stated it’s not being investigated as suspicious.
Trachtenberg had quite a few memorable roles over time, together with “Harriet the Spy,” “Buffy The Vampire Slayer,” “Gossip Girl” and “Ice Princess.”
Her mom, Lana Trachtenberg, discovered Michelle Wednesday round 8 a.m. in her New York Metropolis condo.
Earlier than her loss of life, the actress sparked well being considerations from her Instagram followers about her troubling look.
In current months, she appeared gaunt in pictures, which brought about a few of her 800,000 Instagram followers to take a position about her well being or whether or not she had gotten cosmetic surgery.
Final January, Trachtenberg responded to fan considerations saying she was “happy and healthy” and had by no means had cosmetic surgery.
That month, Trachtenberg posted a selfie. “Snake it to make it,” she wrote within the caption.
“Concerned for yellow in your eyes but other than that you are a QUEEN and you’re a wonderful human being who deserves love and joy,” one commenter wrote.
Yellow eyes generally is a symptom of liver issues.
One other fan accused her of getting cosmetic surgery. “You’re stunning, but you had buccal fat removal. Your cheeks suddenly look sucked in, exactly the same way the buccal fat removal in the face/cheeks does to people. You’ve always been beautiful and still are and there’s nothing wrong with getting surgery, but why lie about it?”
In January 2024, Trachtenberg clapped again in an Instagram put up.
“Fun fact. This is my face,” she wrote in a caption alongside a selfie.
“Not malnutrition no problems. Why do you have to hate? Get a calendar,” she wrote.
