Isabelle Adora Tate, an emerging performer who made her television debut in ABC’s 9-1-1: Nashville, died on October 19, 2025, at age 23, her agency confirmed. Her cause of death was a rare form of Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease, a hereditary neurological disorder; her family encouraged donations to the Charcot–Marie–Tooth Association in her memory. A Tennessee native raised in the Franklin community, Tate had recently graduated from Middle Tennessee State University before securing her first TV role.
Tate appeared in the show’s pilot episode, which premiered on October 9, 2025, as the franchise expanded to Nashville on ABC; producers plan an on-air tribute in an upcoming episode, according to trade reports. Her obituary notes her love of music, volunteer work, and close family ties; services are being handled by Austin Funeral & Cremation Services in Brentwood, Tennessee. The series, created by Ryan Murphy, Tim Minear, and Rashad Raisani, continues the emergency-response format introduced by 9-1-1 and 9-1-1: Lone Star.
