Isabelle Tate, who made her TV debut in the pilot of 9-1-1: Nashville, has passed away at 23. Tate, who graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Business, before jumping into showbiz, died on Sunday, October 19 (via People). The cause behind her passing remains under wraps.
Speaking of the late young, her Nashville co-star Hunter McVey described Tate as a pure joy on set and expressed shock over this tragedy.
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. 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.
While we have to wait until something official is unveiled regarding the cause of Tate’s death, years prior to auditioning for Nashville and booking the role in her first go, she took to IG to reveal her struggle with neuromuscular disease.
Isabelle Tate Was Previously Diagnosed With a Progressive Neuromuscular Disease
Back in 2022, Tate revealed that she was diagnosed with a progressive neuromuscular disease at the age of 13. She detailed her struggle with coming to terms with the progressive disease, which weakened her leg muscles over time, pushing her to use a wheelchair.
However, instead of succumbing to the situation, Tate opted to embrace the cards she was dealt in life. Although it can’t be said for certain if the progressive disease played a factor in her passing, the fact that she was able to overcome her obstacles and nab a role in the pilot of 9-1-1: Nashville on her first attempts remains admirable.
