Isabelle Tate was just 23 when she died. Best known for appearing in the series premiere of ABC’s 9-1-1: Nashville, the young actress’ life, career and health history quickly made headlines when news of her death broke in October 2025. Isabelle may have had a brief role on the show, but her neuromuscular and Charcot-Marie-Tooth diagnoses inspired many to learn more about the illnesses.
“She was also an aspiring actress, and was most recently even featured in a TV show,” Isabelle’s obituary read. “Isabelle loved volunteering her time to all things, particularly animals — her idea of a fun outing was visiting an animal shelter and doling out lots of love. Isabelle was full of fire, a fighter, never once making excuses for the fact that she might have a disability relative to others. She was also quite musically inclined, often spending hours writing and recording songs with friends and even publishing a few.”
