Michelle Trachtenberg, Actress With Cameos in 2000s Rock Music Videos, Dead at 39

Michelle Trachtenberg, a well-known actress who appeared in several 2000s rock music videos, has died at the age of 39.

According to ABC News, Trachtenberg was found dead in her apartment in New York City this morning (Feb. 26) by her mother. Authorities didn't suspect any foul play and presume the actress died of natural causes, though she did recently undergo a liver transplant and may have been experiencing complications.

At this time, though, an official cause of death has not been revealed.

The actress was best known for her roles in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Ice Princess, Gossip Girl, 17 Again and many more movies and television series. Her role in Gossip Girl made her co-stars with The Pretty Reckless' Taylor Momsen, who played an important character in the show.

She also had roles in a couple of rock music videos, including Trapt's "Echo" in 2004, Ringside's "Tired of Being Sorry" the following year and Fall Out Boy's "This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race" in '07.
