The actress recently underwent a liver transplant and died of natural causes, according to the sources.

Yeah if you are at the point of having to swap out an entire organ you are not going to have a great time.

It is a shame that she died young but entropy and death does not care for the money you have.

She can at least be free of never being alone in a room with Joss Whedon ever again but life would be more fair if he was the one who died alone on the floor.

A damn shame when anyone dies that young. She in particular seemed like a nice person, or at least I've never seen any negative articles about her.

Her horror movie scream was amazing.

Wow, that's terrible. There had been rumblings about a Buffy sequel show (without Whedon)... but I guess she won't be a part of that now, if it ever happens.

Awful news.

One of my first childhood crushes watching Weeds (its suprisingly child friendly past the showtime horniness, think 2 kids on the show growing up with me helped), I think every girl irl ive been attracted to looks a bit like her actually. Morphed my brain chemistry for sure.

I just looked her up yesterday. This is super sad.

Aww well that is really sad, I'd been a fan of hers since Pete & Pete.
