9-1-1: Nashville Season 1 Trailer








Update




11:32 AM PT -- We spoke to Isabelle Tate's agent, who tells us Tate passed away peacefully in her sleep.


We're told Isabelle suffered from Charcot-Marie-Tooth, a rare progressive neuromuscular disease which confined her to a wheelchair. Her agent says the disease affects the legs but can also affect internal organs such as the lungs and heart. Because of the disease, Tate had basically given up on her dream of acting ... until she got the 9-1-1 role -- her first big booking which was just perfect for her.


Tate's funeral will take place Friday.


************************



Tate was 23 when she died on Oct. 19, according to an obituary posted by a local funeral home. She had just graduated from Middle Tennessee State University and had scored her first-ever acting role in 9-1-1: Nashville before her death.


On Thursday, Oct. 23, Tate's talent agency, The McCray Agency, said in an Instagram Story post that the actress died of "a rare form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease." She died "peacefully" on Oct. 19 and her family "requests privacy as they deal with this sudden and shocking loss."


"CMT is a rare multisystem, multiorgan disease that causes lifelong, progressive symptoms, including muscle weakness and atrophy in the arms and legs, sensory loss, and other complications," according to the Charcot-Marie-Tooth Association (CMTA). "These symptoms often lead to challenges with balance, walking, hand use, and other daily activities."


The McCray Agency included a link to donate to the CMTA, adding, "In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations in Izzy's memory be made at the same link."
