Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Gossip Girl actress Michelle Trachtenberg has died aged 39.

Her death is not being investigated as suspicious, police sources confirmed to the New York Post.

Trachtenberg was best known for her work as Buffy's (Sarah Michelle Gellar) younger sister Dawn Summers in 66 episodes of UPN teen supernatural drama Buffy the Vampire Slayer spanning 2000-2003.

I don't know why, but that pic reminds me of Meg Ryan in the restaurant scene in the 1989 "When Harry Met Sally."

Amen!

39 is way too young to die!

"Eurotrip is a great movie."

Agree. Very entertaining.

Iggy Pop played her dad in P & P. I watched it with my sons on Nick and we bought seasons 1&2 on DVD. Season 3 is on Youtube. It’s a great show. Very good surreal comedy.

Oh....no. I am very saddened. Prayers to her family.

Such a shame.

All I'd seen of her recently were various publicity poses at shallow Hollywood functions. Not actual acting roles.

Sad as that is, she might've created a new life for herself outside Hollywood.

Gone too soon. RIP.

Looks like suspected liver failure. We’ll see if anything further comes out.

I had a kidney transplant at 27. Dialysis started at 21.

There are all kinds of reasons young people need organs. Not all are behavior-induced.

Just making a point.

Liver cancer is the fourth most prevalent cancer among all age groups worldwide

Sad. She was very beautiful. What a waste.

Any cancer issues may have been worsened by taking the Jim Jones Jab.

I hear you but my point was, 39 is not an age you die of natural causes, even if you have a new organ.

BTW, I hope you’re doing great and know that God wants you well!

[ducttape45]

Kinda makes you wonder. She was bullied from a young age and there are reports she had a drinking problem. That, in conjunction with the jab, could have indeed been the cause. Still, 39 years old is too young to go.

It happens though. Not always because of alcohol and drugs

nasty legions of spike proteins are probably mobbing vital organs and changing gene expressions to random horrors. Maybe they evolve when they encounter spikies from other versions, pedigrees, and assorted DNA fragments. Crap, freaking myself out thinking about it. (I was forced to do half a round but never consummated the part B booster - would get fired but those depts since became woke, broke, and cleansed of USA natives been long gone since (receptaculum ignis)

I remember her as the girl who always had a cast on her arm from Nickelodeon's "The Adventures of Pete and Pete." She was little Pete's friend.

So sad.

Meg was on my celebrity cheat list back then, and my wife knew. Subsequently, Mrs cport hated that movie.

[No name given]

Far too young.

Sad to die so young...
She was a beautiful young lady as Buffy’s supposed sister...
