- Actress ‘Michelle Trachtenberg’ was tragically found dead in her Manhattan apartment on Wednesday morning by her mother, just months after undergoing a liver transplant

According to law enforcement sources, Michelle’s mother, Lana, discovered her daughter unresponsive in bed and immediately called emergency services. Paramedics arrived on the scene and pronounced the actress dead.

Lana last saw Michelle alive around 10 PM on Tuesday. Despite her ongoing health concerns, the Gossip Girl star had been active in the days leading up to her passing—she was even spotted out with friends last Thursday night at Sartiano’s in New York City.

Sources confirmed that Michelle had recently undergone a liver transplant, which led to complications affecting both her liver and thyroid.

Authorities have not yet released an official cause of death as investigations continue. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the friends and family at this time. 🙏
