I can’t believe this! Wtf?! I’m about to be 39 too like we are still too young!! I wonder if it has to do with how she has been looking somewhat sickly as of late. This is so sad. And I wanted her to return for the reboot. Ughhh R.I.P. Michelle aka Dawn 😭

Just terrible I’m so sad. She will truly be missed, what talented, underrated and lovely actress and personality. RIP

What she said happened on set as a child, should definitely have been followed up or investigated but no one did. I wonder if that had a part in it

Wow. I am shocked. Speechless. How awful.

She had not looked well for a while. I had hoped it was just a little too much weight loss, but it was clearly something far more serious.

I certainly never expected she'd be the next to go. She's barely older than me. Third of our cast to die in their 30s, as well.

She should be given a nice tribute in the revival.

I just audibly gasped at work. I am on the verge of tears. She is my age. And just as the new series was getting started. I am so in my feels.

That is so sad.

I know there had been comments on how she was looking recently; if she had recently had a liver transplant, that may well be why.

 

[DarkLordsHaunt]

Had to get on Buffy Boards for the first time in ages when I heard this.

How awful. Some are saying that it was due to complications from a liver transplant.

Wish I had more to say. This is just shocking I'm kind of at a loss for words.

So sad. So shocking. It’s a big slap. Dawnie ❤️❤️❤️

 

[Plasma]

That’s so unfortunate. She was far too young.

 

[Taake]

WHAT!? Was my only thought seeing this thread. How horribly sad!

 

[BaskingINBangel]

Very sad news. R.I.P. Dawnie.

Absolutely horrible news. I'm in shock. 39 is no age at all. Poor girl.

At least there is a lot to remember her with. PS I also like the new board banner in tribute to Michelle. Very sweet gesture.

Gutted 🙁 . Just saw this on the BBC site and came to check if it was true 🙁 .

 

[Joan the Vampire Slayer]

I just saw the sad news on Entertainment Tonight’s Instagram and ran here. I’m absolutely shocked. How awful. She was only my age…so young! How does a 39 year old die of “natural causes”? No way! It will be interesting to see what the autopsy says.

Rest in Power, Michelle!

 

[Killjoy]

Word I read was she had a liver transplant and this might have been complications from it.

 

[Fuffy]

39 is way too young
R.I.P

 

[famicommander]

Awful news. She seemed like a very sweet person.

This is really tragic she was perfect as Dawn and in Ice Princess, I hope she rests in peace.
