911: Nashville Star Isabelle Tate Dead at 23
Yes, it's confirmed that Isabelle Tate passed away on October 19, 2025, at 23 years old. The cause was a rare form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a progressive neuromuscular disorder that affected her mobility and had her using a wheelchair. She'd been open about living with it for years, but her agency said she died peacefully at home. Jill Winter (@JillWinterMusic) shared on X the tragic news of Isabelle Tate's passing at the age of 23, shortly after she filmed her role as Julie in the pilot episode of 9-1-1: Nashville. Her agency confirmed the news, though they did not disclose the cause of death.
She played Julie in the pilot episode of ABC's 9-1-1: Nashville, her first major adult acting gig after some smaller roles as a kid. They shot it back in June, and it aired just two weeks before she died, on October 6. Fans spotted her right away in that emergency response scene, and it felt like she was just getting started.
Country Rebel (@countryrebel) on X remembers Isabelle Tate as "a fighter" who was "full of fire." Having recently achieved her acting dream with a role on 9-1-1: Nashville, Tate tragically passed away on Sunday at the age of 23. Her agent confirmed the cause of death in a statement.
Her rep at McCray Agency broke the news on Instagram Tuesday: "We are deeply saddened and completely heartbroken to share that Isabelle Tate passed away on October 19th. She was 23." They asked for privacy while her family grieved this sudden loss. Hunter McVey, the show's lead, told People he was shocked and sent prayers to her loved ones no big production statement from ABC yet, but the cast's reeling.
Isabelle grew up in the Franklin area outside Nashville, born to Katerina and John Tate, with a younger sister, Daniella, who was basically her built-in best friend. She graduated from Middle Tennessee State University last spring with a business degree, but acting pulled her harder; she minored in that world-changing vibe, always volunteering at animal shelters because pet cuddles were her reset button. Music too; she'd hole up with friends recording tracks, even dropped a couple online. Stepdad Vishnu was part of that tight crew, too.
It's raw, hearing how she lit up sets and rooms despite everything. Her episode's still streaming, a quick mark she left. If you're watching, that's her fighting through, just like always.
