Actress Michelle Trachtenberg was found dead in her Manhattan apartment Wednesday morning. Her mother, Lana, discovered her unresponsive in bed. Emergency responders pronounced her dead at the scene. Trachtenberg, known for her role in "Gossip Girl," had recently undergone a liver transplant, which reportedly caused complications affecting her liver and thyroid. While she defended her appearance online in recent months, insisting she was healthy and happy, sources indicate the transplant may have been rejected, possibly leading to her death. She was 39 years old. The family has requested privacy.
