News of the Gossip Girl star's death was first reported by the New York Post. Police sources said her death is not currently believed to be suspicious, but a formal cause of death is pending an autopsy. She was 39.
Trachtenberg put herself on the map as a child, appearing in a handful of different Nickelodeon properties. Her first credited role was in the series The Adventures of Pete & Pete, and she followed that up with her first film credit as the titular character in Harriet the Spy.
Trachtenberg joined Buffy in its fifth season as Dawn Summers, the sister of Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar). Despite there being no mention of the supernatural slayer having any siblings prior, when Dawn was introduced, the characters made no mention of how new she was, stating that she had been part of the reality all along. It turned out, however, it was all a cover, as everyone in the town of Sunnydale — including Dawn herself — had been implanted with false memories of her existence.

If Dawn were conceived as a part of the new Buffy show, there are a number of ways they can proceed. She could still be a part of the series, just recast with a different actress in the role. Dawn could be written out of the show, choosing not to return to Sunnydale — or wherever the new setting may be — after the events of the series finale.
As Dawn, Trachtenberg was known as the "Key," a concentration of living energy that could smash the veils between worlds. But it remains to be seen how key Trachtenberg was to the plans for a Buffy reboot, and how the show will recover from this shocking loss.
