Isabelle Tate, who recently returned to acting with a role in 9-1-1: Nashville, has passed away at the age of 23.
The actress, who filmed episode one in June and saw it air on October 6, breathed her last on Sunday, October 19.
Three days later, on Thursday, October 23, Tate’s talent agency, The McCray Agency unveiled the reason behind her "shocking" death in an Instagram Story.
"Isabelle 'Izzy' Tate had a rare form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease," her talent agency wrote in a statement in the wake of her passing. "She passed away peacefully."
"The family requests privacy as they deal with this sudden and shocking loss," they added and also attached a link for fans to make donations in Izzy's memory.
What is Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease?
It is an inherited neurological disorder that affects the peripheral nerves responsible for transmitting signals between the brain, spinal cord, and the rest of the body.
In addition to the Instagram story, McCray also dedicated a social media post to Tate.
"We are deeply saddened and completely heartbroken," they wrote in a heartfelt tribute. "She booked the first series she auditioned for, 9-1-1: Nashville. She had a wonderful time."
In the pilot episode of 9-1-1: Nashville, Tate played Julie, who was in a wheelchair, attending a strip show when Hunter McVey's character Blue paid her special attention.
