Tate died “peacefully” of a โrare form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease,โ her talent agency, The McCray Agency, announced Thursday.
The agency added that Tate’s family โrequests privacy as they deal with this sudden and shocking loss.โ In lieu of flowers, they requested that donations in her name be made to theย Charcot-Marie-Tooth Association (CMTA).
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease is a โmultisystem, multiorgan disease that causes lifelong, progressive symptoms, including muscle weakness and atrophy in the arms and legs, sensory loss, and other complications,โ according to the CMTA. โThese symptoms often lead to challenges with balance, walking, hand use, and other daily activities.โ
After Tateโs death, The McCray Agency posted a tribute on Instagram reading, โWe are deeply saddened and completely heartbroken to share that Isabelle Tate passed away on October 19th. She was 23.” The tribute continued, “Iโve known Izzy since she was a teenager and she recently returned to acting. She booked the first series she auditioned for,ย 9-1-1: Nashville. She had a wonderful time.โ
Offering sympathies to the actressโ โwonderful mother,โ sister Daniella, family and friends,” the tribute concluded, โI was so lucky to know her and she will be greatly missed by so many.”
Tate was born in Nashville on Aug. 8, 2002, according to herย obituary, and she had recently graduated from Middle Tennessee State University with a bachelorโs degree in business.
9-1-1: Nashville airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET on ABC.
