Actress Isabelle Adora Tate has died at age 23.
Tate, who played Julie in the pilot episode of the Leann Rimes-led show 9-1-1 Nashville, died on October 19, the talent agency representing her has confirmed.
A cause of death has not yet been revealed.
‘We are deeply saddened and completely heartbroken to share that Isabelle Tate passed away on October 19th. She was 23,’ McRay Agency revealed earlier this week. ‘I’ve known Izzy since she was a teenager and she recently returned to acting. She booked the first series she auditioned for, 9-1-1 Nashville. She had a wonderful time.
‘Special thanks to @fincannonmark @shelbay9 for casting her and @caroline_locorriere for that wonderful encouragement and nudge back to the acting world. Also to Lora Sorrentino for making her set experience a good one.
‘My heart goes out to her wonderful mother @katerinataterealtor, her sister Daniella, family and friends. I was so lucky to know her and she will be greatly missed by so many.’

An obituary for Tate describes her as someone who ‘wanted to change the world’ and was ‘full of fire.’
Tate, who received a Bachelor’s Degree in business from Middle Tennessee State University, had an affinity for volunteering with animals and loved spending time with her friends and family.
‘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.
‘What she loved the most though was spending time with family and friends, always the life of the party. Her sister was her best friend and her mom was her shining beacon of light.’
The obituary adds she is survived by her mother Katerina Kazakos Tate, her step father Vishnu Jayamohan, her father John Daniel Tate and sister Daniella Tate.
The obituary asked for donations on behalf of the Charcot-Marie-Tooth Association, an organization supporting those suffering from Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.
In 2022, Tate shared a post revealing she had been diagnosed with a ‘progressive neuromuscular disease’ at age 13 and had recently accepted that she would need to use a wheelchair ‘at times’ to ‘live my life to the fullest.’
