The entertainment world is mourning the sudden death of rising actress Isabelle Tate, best known for her debut role in 9-1-1: Nashville. The 23-year-old star passed away on October 19, and her cause of death has now been publicly confirmed by her agency. Tate had recently graduated from Middle Tennessee State University and was just beginning her promising acting career. Her passing has left fans, friends, and colleagues in deep shock and sadness.
Isabelle Tate’s Cause of Death Confirmed
According to an obituary released by a local funeral home, Isabelle Tate died peacefully on October 19, 2025. Her talent agency, The McCray Agency, later revealed that the young actress passed away due to a rare form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease, a hereditary neurological disorder that affects the nerves controlling muscles in the arms and legs.
“She died peacefully, and her family requests privacy as they deal with this sudden and shocking loss,” the agency wrote in an Instagram Story post.
The agency also encouraged fans to honor Tate’s memory by donating to the Charcot-Marie-Tooth Association (CMTA) instead of sending flowers.
What Is Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease?
The Charcot-Marie-Tooth Association describes the condition as a rare, lifelong disease that causes progressive muscle weakness, sensory loss, and balance issues. People living with CMT often face difficulties with walking, hand use, and other daily activities.
Interestingly, country music legend Alan Jackson also announced in 2021 that he had been diagnosed with the same condition. The 67-year-old singer later revealed plans to retire from live performances in 2026 due to health challenges.
