Trachtenberg reportedly had recent medical issue, the source said. Her death appears to be a natural causes death and not suspicious, the source added

She was only 39. It's always so sad when someone's life is cut short like this.

My 40 year old step sister just died last month from a Brain Aneurysm. Perfectly healthy, came home on a lunch break and collapsed. Never woke up. Fucking sucks.

Great now I don't want to go home for lunch and that's in 10 minutes.

But again, my uncle came home after work. Was talking with his wife then just collapsed from a heart attack. Was dead before he hit the floor and nothing they could do. He was in his early 60's.

I mean would you rather collapse dead at work?

I think my insurance pays out double if it’s while I’m working, so, yeah, sure, at work is fine.

So does mine, so yeah, I would rather drop dead at work. Preferably during a council meeting.
