she was only 39

That's sad news, 39 is very young. I hope she rests in peace

What awful news. She was a great actress.

she recently had a liver transplant, so must have been really unwell.

That’s sad news.

It’s strange, I’ve never thought of her since Buffy, though I read that she had many acting credits. But she was perfect as Dawn.

RIP.

That's so sad. Loved her in Buffy, and GG. RIP.

I still remember her from Harriet the Spy.

How awful, may she RIP. She was so young 😓

That's really sad news, I loved her in Buffy.

I'm rewatching Buffy at the mo. She started off so annoying and whiny and they developed her character so well over the series. RIP.

Aww no she was a great actress I loved harriet the spy

I was really sad to read this. I loved the film Ice Princess when I was younger.

She was a brilliant actress, I really loathed her character in Gossip Girl but couldn’t wait for her to be back on screen.

I last rewatched all of Buffy in December 2019. But it’s always worthy of another go.

Very very sad news.

So sad. Another child actor destroyed by the industry. May Michelle rest in peace.

@ZoeCM we don't know that. There's not been any indication of how or why she has passed away.

So sad. Loved her in Buffy.

So sad, loved her in Gossip Girl back in the day! She looked unwell for a long time. I feel for her family.

So sad. We are similar ages and she is one of the actors of my childhood- Harriet the spy and also good as Dawn in Buffy. So young.

Such sad news. I’ve recently been doing a rewatch and currently halfway through S6, so peak Dawn.

Poor woman looked very ill in recent photos. Far too young to die, RIP.

That’s a really weird thing to say in the face of no evidence. She had been in poor health and recently had an organ transplant.

Where has that been reported?

So sad, I was shocked to see this. I think the implication is that the liver transplant was due to alcohol, but that could just be the way the media are spinning it.
