Buffy actress Michelle Trachtenberg died of complications from diabetes: medical examiner
The cause of death was determined through a review of lab test results, after her family objected to an autopsy
Actress Michelle Trachtenberg died as a result of complications from diabetes, New York’s medical examiner said on Wednesday.
The office said in a statement that it amended the cause and manner of death for the 39-year-old New York native following a review of laboratory test results.
Trachtenberg, who was known for Gossip Girl, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Harriet the Spy, was found unconscious and unresponsive in her luxury apartment tower in Manhattan in February.
Officials at the time said no foul play was suspected, and the medical examiner’s office had listed her death as “undetermined”.
Trachtenberg’s family had objected to an autopsy, which the medical examiner’s office honoured because there was no evidence of criminality.
Her representative did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment Wednesday.
