According to sources, Lana last saw her daughter alive at 10 p.m. on Tuesday, February 25, noting that she appeared active despite her health struggles. Just days earlier, last Thursday night, the actress had also been out with friends at Sartiano’s in New York City.
Therefore, her sudden death has shocked her family. Tragically, Lana also discovered Trachtenberg’s body in bed the day after she saw her alive. She was lying on her back and unresponsive.

Lana alerted the police and paramedics, who arrived at the scene in her Manhattan apartment and confirmed Trachtenberg’s passing. Trachtenberg had undergone a liver transplant months ago.
Sources have shared that complications with her liver and thyroid, arising from the transplant, may have played a role in her death. They added that Trachtenberg’s body may have rejected the transplant, potentially contributing to her demise. Still, her cause of death is yet to be confirmed.
