The family of actress Michelle Trachtenberg, who died on Wednesday at the age of 39, have objected to an autopsy, the New York City’s Office of Chief Medical Examiner said on Thursday.

The former child star was found “unconscious and unresponsive” in her apartment on Manhattan’s Upper West Side after police responded to a 911 call, the New York Police Department’s Office of the Deputy Commissioner, Public Information (DCPI) told The Epoch Times via email.
