Trachtenberg’s passing was initially reported by the New York Post on Wednesday, citing police sources.

According to the outlet, her death is not currently being investigated as suspicious.

A cause of death, including details about where she died, was not immediately disclosed.

However, it has since been reported that she was found dead inside of her luxury Midtown Westside apartment.

Sources have also since claimed to ABC News that the actress, “recently underwent a liver transplant and may have been experiencing complications.”

But the actress last posted on her social media profile over the past few weeks, just days before her sudden death.

Two weeks ago she also posted a candid selfie onto her grid page where she was seen looking fresh-faced whilst out and about.

She captioned the snap: “The warmth before the storm,” alongside film roll emoji, a lips emoji and a starry pink heart.

The Buffy the Vampire Slayer star later posted a solemn image of herself on a red carpet at an event.

The caption read: “I wanted to look like naughty #tinkerbell #throwback.”

These were accompanied by a green heart emoji and a yellow thunderbolt.

Michelle rose to fame as a child TV actress, starring as Nona Mecklenberg on the hit Nickelodeon series The Adventures of Pete & Pete.

She later appeared in a number of high-profile projects which included the Disney film, Ice Princess in 2005.

The actress starred alongside A-list names including Kim Cattrall, Hayden Panettiere, and Joan Cusack.

In 2019, Trachtenberg previously raised eyebrows over her health on several occasions when she was spotted walking with a cane.

She later revealed that it was because of a broken ankle.
