Michelle Trachtenberg’s Concerning Final Days Alive

Days before Michelle Trachtenberg was found dead in her NYC apartment, she stepped out with a friend at Sartiano's in NYC.

It has been reported that Trachtenberg underwent a liver transplant within the past year, and her body may have rejected it, causing complications.
A source told People magazine that Trachtenberg was “really down emotionally” and battling “health issues” in her last year alive.
They said, “She told friends she was struggling. She was really, really sick and open with those in her circle about how much she was struggling.”
It has been revealed that Trachtenberg’s family has decided against an autopsy to determine her cause of death.
The medical examiner told TMZ that if there were any doubts or suspected criminal activity regarding her death, an autopsy would be performed regardless of the family’s wishes. In this case, her death didn’t raise any red flags.
Police believe that she died of natural causes.
