Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Michelle Trachtenberg's cause of death 'undetermined' after family decline autopsy

Caption: Michelle Trachtenberg's cause of death 'undetermined' after family decline autopsy. The cause of the Gossip Girl star's shocking death will remain undetermined, after her family decided against an autopsy. Trachtenberg's family reportedly declined to have an autopsy performed for religious reasons. The decision was not overturned by the medical examiner's office because her death was not considered suspicious. The actress was found dead in her apartment in Manhattan, New York, on Wednesday morning after police responded to a 911 call. She was 39. After her death, it was reported that Trachtenberg underwent a liver transplant last year and may have suffered complications. She never spoke publicly about her health conditions. A spokesperson for the Buffy the Vampire Slayer actress confirmed her death in a statement on Wednesday. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
