Michelle Trachtenberg‘s unexpected death has left many stunned. As her family, friends, and the entertainment industry grapple with their grief over the actress’ passing, those who lived near her in NYC are sharing heartfelt stories about the artist. It was reported that Trachtenberg resided in an apartment close to Columbus Circle, and from what neighbors recounted, they had only positive interactions with the celebrity.

Speaking with Us Weekly, Rafael Williams, who lived on the same floor as the late child actress, shared that “Michelle always appeared cheerful,” and he “never noticed anything unusual about her at all.” Although they weren’t close acquaintances, Michelle Trachtenberg would always greet him in the elevator. He expressed his hope that her family is doing well, acknowledging that Michelle’s passing left him stunned. Rafael stated, “She didn’t seem to have a care in the world.

Another neighbor, Ariana Rodriguez, echoed similar feelings, describing the 39-year-old as an “excellent neighbor.” She admired how the celebrity was always friendly to everyone in the hallways. She went on to express her sadness about not seeing Michelle anymore in the building, as she would always greet her. However, Ariana pointed out that over the last few months, there had been a significant change in Michelle’s appearance. She observed that Michelle seemed “increasingly unlike herself during the past few months,” using the term “slender” to describe her physical transformation.

In 2024, it wasn’t just Rodriguez who noticed a change; some of her fans also pointed out that the actress seemed thinner and her eyes appeared yellowish. However, Trachtenberg emphasized that Rodriguez was in good spirits and health.

According to a source who spoke with ABC News, it was reported that the actress from Gossip Girl underwent a liver transplant and subsequent rumors have arisen about possible post-surgery complications. Yet, neither her family nor law enforcement has released any information explaining the cause of her passing.
