Before her unexpected death at 23, the actress returned to acting with a role in a network TV drama and shared joyful moments with loved ones earlier this year.

Isabelle Tate, whose acting career was just beginning to blossom, has died. Her agency, McCray Agency, announced the news in an Instagram Story, saying she passed away peacefully from a rare form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT).

a painful twist of timing, Tate had only recently resumed her acting career. She landed a role in the pilot episode of ABC’s “9-1-1: Nashville,” her first audition back, which was filmed in June and premiered on October 6. Her obituary, published by Austin Funeral & Cremation Services, also confirmed her death.
