The famous actress Michelle Trachtenberg, aged only 39, was found dead in the morning of this Wednesday, February 26, in her apartment in the luxury hotel complex One Columbus place, in New York (United States), according to the American media ABC News. However, his entourage asked that no autopsy be practiced for reasons of religious beliefs, according to Deadline magazine. This request was accepted, since nothing suggests an external intervention or a criminal act in this case.
According to information from the New York Post, it is the mother of the actress who discovered her inanimate body, around eight in the morning. An autopsy should be quickly made to know the cause of his death, but it would seem that it is natural. Indeed, Michelle Trachtenberg would have undergone a liver transplant a few days ago. Complications related to this intervention could explain his death. But in the absence of autopsy, this theory will never be confirmed.
Her fans have been worried about her state of health for several weeks, after she published photos on her Instagram account on which she can be seen with a weight loss. She wanted to reassure her fans in January by ensuring that she is “happy and healthy”.
