Hollywood actress Michelle Trachtenberg, who starred alongside Sarah Michelle Gellar in the popular Buffy The Vampire Slayer series, died Wednesday at the age of 39.
“Trachtenberg was found by her mother around 8 a.m. Wednesday at One Columbus Place, a 51-story luxury apartment complex in Manhattan’s Central Park South neighborhood,” reported the New York Post citing sources.

“The NYPD confirmed Trachtenberg was found ‘unconscious and unresponsive’ by police and pronounced dead by EMS workers. They responded to the building after a 911 call reporting a woman experiencing cardiac arrest,” The Post added, noting police did not suspect foul play.
Instagram photos showed the former child star appearing frail and gaunt, with sources telling People she was “struggling” with health issues.
Many on social media pointed out the Eurotrip actress had previously promoted face masks and the Covid-19 vaccine, prompting many to speculate the jab may have somehow possibly contributed to her death.
“Get vaccinated. Wear a f*cking mask. Stay safe,” Trachtenberg wrote in an Aug. 2021 post.
“This is how I look down at people who don’t want to get the vaccine. The virus is real,” she wrote in another post.
Whether the vaccine played a role in Trachtenberg’s untimely passing remains unclear, but a 2022 research study documented cases of rejection in 56 transplanted solid organs following vaccination with Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, AstraZeneca, or Sinovac.
“Organ rejection post-COVID-19 vaccination with all vaccines used to prevent COVID-19 or following COVID-19 infection with all variants of concerns is rare but can occur,” researchers wrote, adding the study shouldn’t necessarily discourage Covid jab vaccination.
