US actress Michelle Trachtenberg died in February as a result of complications from diabetes, New York City’s medical examiner says.
The office says in a statement that it has amended the cause and manner of death for the 39-year-old Jewish star following a review of laboratory test results.
Trachtenberg, who was known for “Gossip Girl,” ” Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Harriet the Spy,” was found unconscious and unresponsive in her luxury apartment tower in Manhattan in February.
Officials at the time said no foul play was suspected, and the medical examiner’s office had listed her death as “undetermined.”
Trachtenberg’s family objected to an autopsy, which the medical examiner’s office honored because there is no evidence of criminality.
Her representative doesn’t immediately respond to an email seeking comment.
