The untimely death of actress Michelle Trachtenberg has taken a clearer turn as her cause of death has been officially revealed. The beloved "Gossip Girl" and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" star passed away at the age of 39 in her New York City apartment, leading to speculation and a void in the hearts of her fans.

Now, the New York City's Office of Chief Medical Examiner has announced that Trachtenberg's death was due to complications from diabetes mellitus, a condition where the body's blood sugar levels are unbalanced due to insufficient or ineffective insulin production.

The tragic news has been met with sorrow from her admirers and the entertainment industry, who remember Trachtenberg best for her iconic roles alongside Blake Lively and Sarah Michelle Gellar. The announcement comes after nearly two months of speculation, with the family initially objecting to an autopsy due to religious reasons.

Officials remarked that her passing was classified as 'natural', indicating that no external factors contributed to her untimely demise. While it remains unclear whether Trachtenberg had type 1 or type 2 diabetes, the new findings highlight the significant impact of diabetes and its complications, which can often go unnoticed until it's too late.

Authorities were originally summoned to Trachtenberg's Manhattan apartment on February 27, where she was found unconscious. Initial reports left her cause of death undetermined, leaving many questions in the wake of her passing. Now, as the entertainment community and her family come to terms with her loss, the confirmation of her cause of death offers a form of closure to a deeply felt absence.
