Sarah Michelle Gellar Honors Michelle Trachtenberg on Her Posthumous 40th Birthday

The remembrance comes eight months after officials ruled Trachtenberg died from complications of diabetes.

Overview

  • On Oct. 11, Gellar shared an Instagram clip of a Buffy embrace set to “See You Again,” writing that she couldn’t imagine 40 but knew it “would be filled with love.”
  • Trachtenberg was found dead at 39 in a Manhattan apartment on Feb. 26 after a 911 response, according to New York police.
  • The New York City Office of Chief Medical Examiner amended its initial undetermined finding in April, citing complications of diabetes mellitus based on toxicology review.
  • Gellar and Trachtenberg first met on All My Children before reuniting on Buffy, where Trachtenberg played Dawn Summers from season five through the finale.
  • A Buffy revival is in development with Gellar as an executive producer and in a recurring role, and it has not been announced whether the series will address Trachtenberg’s death.
