Isabelle Tate, who made her television debut in the premiere episode of 9-1-1: Nashville, died on October 19 at the age of 23, her reps confirmed via Instagram. She had a rare form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease that causes nerve damage in the body. “We are deeply saddened and completely heartbroken to share that Isabelle Tate passed away on October 19th. She was 23,” her agency wrote on October 21. “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.” Outside of acting, Tate graduated from Middle Tennessee State University with a degree in business and loved volunteering with animals.
On her episode of 9-1-1: Nashville, which premiered on October 9, Tate played Julie, a woman at a bar who receives a lap dance from Blue (Hunter McVey). McVey shared his condolences to her family and remembered his first time on set with actress. “I was shocked to hear the news. I didn’t know Isabelle prior to filming, but I couldn’t have asked for someone better to work with on one of my first ever days on set,” McVey told People. “I was terrified, nervous, and after each take we would get to exchange a couple words which were always supportive from her. I got the pleasure of talking with her after the scene and she had such a great energy. You could tell she brought joy to a lot of people. I’m thankful I got a chance to work with Isabelle and that a part of her will live on forever in the pilot episode of 9-1-1 Nashville. Prayers for her family.”
