Michelle Trachtenberg is reportedly dead at the age of 39, according to the New York Post. The actress, who was known for roles in shows like Gossip Girl and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, as well as the 1996 film Harriet the Spy, was 39 years old.
Fans had grown concern about the actress after her recent social media posts, in which many commented on her weight loss and questioned if she was okay. The Post reports that her death is not being investigated as suspicious.
In January 2024, she assured her followers that she was “happy and healthy,” writing on Instagram, “I’ve received several comments recently about my appearance. I have never had plastic surgery I am happy and healthy. Check yourself haters.”
