The death of Michelle Trachtenberg, renowned actress from "Gossip Girl," remained surrounded by uncertainty after her family decided not to authorize an autopsy, according to TMZ. The New York City medical examiner explained that, since there are no suspicions of criminality, the procedure will not be performed.
