Actress Michelle Trachtenberg, known for a wide range of TV and film roles including in “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Gossip Girl,” has died at the age of 39, sources told The Post.
Trachtenberg was found by her mother around 8 a.m. Wednesday at One Columbus Place, a 51-story luxury apartment complex in Manhattan’s Central Park South neighborhood, the sources said.
The actress recently underwent a liver transplant and died of natural causes, according to the sources.

Wow, that’s terrible. There had been rumblings about a Buffy sequel show (without Whedon)… but I guess she won’t be a part of that now, if it ever happens.
Damn.
Awful news.
I just looked her up yesterday. This is super sad.
That fuckin’ sucks. Eurotrip was an awesome movie
A damn shame when anyone dies that young. She in particular seemed like a nice person, or at least I’ve never seen any negative articles about her.
Yeah if you are at the point of having to swap out an entire organ you are not going to have a great time.
It is a shame that she died young but entropy and death does not care for the money you have.
She can at least be free of never being alone in a room with Joss Whedon ever again but life would be more fair if he was the one who died alone on the floor.
Damn! RIP Harriet the Spy
Terrible, RIP.
“natural causes” seems like a strange way to describe someone dying at 39.
The phrase “natural causes” here refers to it being a medical reason not caused by a murder, accident, or suicide, just the body failing for whatever other reason.
I suppose something like sepsis after an operation would qualify as “natural causes”.
… liver transplant …
I don’t know anything about her medical conditions, but that’s a big hint.
recently underwent a liver transplant
It could be “natural” for someone with liver problems and organ donations don’t always work. But I don’t care much for celebrity gossip.
But enjoyed a lot of her work. RIP.
