I don't even know what to say. I was a longtime fan. I know there were rumours she'd been ill, but she'd looked healthier again in recent Instagram posts. I'm in shock, to be honest. It's so fucking sad.

Sad news.

 

[Falconfire]

Holy shit that was not something I expected to read. So sad, it did look like she was getting her life back on track recently. Im hoping it was natural as sad as that sounds and not what I fear at that young an age.

 

[Mentalist]

I am speechless. Just so sad.

EDIT: Reading details that it might have been the complications from a liver transplant that would track with how jaundiced her eyes were in those pics from a few years back. Absolutley tragic.

 

[Colonel Kira's Left Tit]

Damn, just heard about this.

 

[Falconfire]

Another article is stating it may have been complications from a liver transplant.

Has anyone heard from Tomtrek?

This is really sad, I'm so sorry to hear about this. I know she was well loved here.

 

[The Tomtrek]

what the fuck

 

[CaptainWacky]

^I hope you're doing okay, it hit me pretty hard and I'm not even you.

 

[whisky]

I don't know what to say, I know how much she was loved here.

 

[Cassie]

I didn't even know. This is terrible.

 

[Seph]

Does this mean Tomtrek is gonna off himself?

Live Michael Jackson reaction...

When I saw the news, the very first thing I thought about was Tomtrek and Wacky.

What a shock -- I'd forgotten she'd been ill. Not remotely the news I was expecting to see when I sat down to the PC...

I know, when I read it, I dropped my jaw. I liked her quite a bit. Saw a news item that said she had a liver transplant and wondered if she died from some sort of rejection or liver failure.

 

[Fuddlemiff]

Same, I thought of you guys immediately. So sad.

I also immediately thought of Wacky and Tom, my wife told me the news from the couch as she was reading her phone and I said, "Oh holy cow that's terrible! Are Captain Wacky and Tomtrek going to be okay?"

She looked at me with a blank stare that I've come to recognize as the "WTF but it's not worth saying that out loud" stare, and my eldest child said, "Captain who? Who are you talking about dada?" and I had to seriously consider what I said next. The idea that my kid would google "ishcabittle troll kingdom" and find a thousand "INDEED LOL BONC" flashed across my vision like a shot.

All that aside, it is a truly sad thing, Brooke and I rewatch Buffy once every five years or so and Michelle feels like family in that weird media consumptive way. She was much too young for that untimely end.

VERY sad news

RIP Michelle Trachtenberg

I'm still very sad but this made me a little happy.
