Michelle wished Cohen a happy Valentine’s Day earlier this month, writing on Instagram, ‘Happy Valentine’s Day to the man who sits still long enough for me to paint his face’, with a picture of the couple dressed as Jekyll and Hyde for Halloween.
She had undergone a liver transplant months before her sudden death.
The Gossip Girl star didn’t talk about her health publicly but she needed the liver transplant after battling alcohol-related health issues and ‘may have been experiencing complications’ prior to her death.
A restaurant worker revealed to DailyMail.com that Trachtenberg was so sick during her final outing that she could barely walk down a flight of restaurant stairs.
Police told DailyMail.com that there is no foul play suspected in her death.
The star’s gaunt appearance stunned staff at Sartiano’s restaurant in SoHo, New York.
It was Thursday February 20th, less than a week before the Harriet the Spy star was found dead.
‘She looked really unwell, just like very sickly,’ a worker said on Wednesday, speaking on the condition of anonymity.

‘Upon arrival, officers observed a 39-year-old female unconscious and unresponsive. EMS responded to the location and pronounced the victim deceased.
‘Criminality is not suspected. The Medical Examiner will determine the cause of death. The investigation remains ongoing.’

In the wake of her death, her former Gossip Girl co-star Ed Westwick shared a poignant throwback of the star on the show, captioned: ‘So sad to hear of the passing of Michelle Trachtenberg, sending prayers.’
Her Harriet The Spy co-star Rosie O’Donnell mourned the ‘heartbreaking’ loss of Trachtenberg in a statement, saying: ‘I loved her very much. She struggled the last few years. I wish I could have helped.’
In 2023 Michelle reprised her role in two episodes of the second (and final) season of HBO Max’s Gossip Girl reboot.
