She was 23. She died peacefully Sunday after facing a rare form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth, a neuromuscular disease, the McCray Agency, which represented the Nashville native, told The Hollywood Reporter. This week, Kim McCray, owner of the talent agency, said on social media: "We are deeply saddened and completely heartbroken to share that Isabelle Tate passed away ... 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."

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." After acting and modeling as a child, Tate graduated from Middle Tennessee State University with a business degree. Her return to acting with 9-1-1: Nashville was her first booking for an adult role. The pilot episode was shot in June and debuted Oct. 6. ABC's 911: Nashville, starring Jessica Capshaw and Chris O'Donnell, is produced by ABC and 20th Television. The series marks the third show in the first-responder franchise from Ryan Murphy Television. Tate is survived by her mother, Katerina Tate, stepfather Vishnu Jayamohan, father John Daniel Tate and her sister, Daniella. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations in Tate's memory be made to the Charcot-Marie-Tooth Association, which has information on the disease.
