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.

      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.

      … 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.
