    Isabelle Tate died from a rare form of a neurological disorder

    The 9-1-1: Nashville actress passed away on Sunday (19.10.25) and her representative has now confirmed she "passed away peacefully" as a result of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a group of inherited conditions which cause nerve damage


    The McCray Agency wrote on their Instagram Story: "Isabelle 'Izzy' Tate had a rare form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. She passed away peacefully on the 19th of October.

    "The family requests privacy as they deal with this sudden and shocking loss.

    "Izzy recently returned to acting and booked episode 1 of 9-1-1 Nashville which filmed in June and first aired October 6th.

    Information about the disease Izzy suffered from can be found at link.

    "In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations in Izzy's memory be made."

    The McCray Agency had earlier paid a heartfelt tribute to the late TV star.

    The company said on Instagram: "We are deeply saddened and completely heartbroken to share that Isabelle Tate passed away on October 19th. She was 23.

    "I've known Izzy since she was a teenager and she recently returned to acting. She booked the first series she auditioned for, 9-1-1 Nashville. She had a wonderful time. Special thanks to @fincannonmark @shelbay9 for casting her and @caroline_locorriere for that wonderful encouragement and nudge back to the acting world. Also to Lora Sorrentino for making her set experience a good one.

    "My heart goes out to her wonderful mother @katerinataterealtor, her sister Daniella, family and friends. I was so lucky to know her and she will be greatly missed by so many. [broken heart and dove emojis] (sic)"

    Isabelle - who was confined to a wheelchair - was remembered as the "life of the party".

    An obituary reads: "Isabelle was full of fire, a fighter, never once making excuses for the fact that she might have a disability relative to others.

    "She was also quite musically inclined, often spending hours writing and recording songs with friends and even publishing a few.

    "What she loved the most though was spending time with family and friends, always the life of the party. Her sister was her best friend and her mom was her shining beacon of light."

    The actress previously revealed she had been diagnosed with the condition when she was 13.

    She wrote on Instagram in 2022: "This has been a difficult journey for me because having to accept help and surrender to the progression of this condition has been extremely hard. While I was trying to come to terms with this, I really did find that I lost myself in certain ways. I hated that it was not only breaking me down physically, but I was allowing it to also break down my spirit.

    "I would've never expected something like this to happen to me, as most of us wouldn't. I don't know why these were the cards I was dealt in life, but I can't change it so I'm choosing to embrace it and not let it define me."
