Michael Madsen is grieving the loss of his son, Hudson Madsen, who tragically passed away at the age of twenty-six. Hudson, also known as Quentin Tarantino’s godson in the films “Reservoir Dogs” and “Kill Bill,” died from a gunshot wound, although the initial death certificate cited suicide as the cause.
The exact date of Hudson’s passing has not been disclosed by the police department, pending the release of the full autopsy report. Michael’s attorney stated that the actor is being supported by his family during this difficult time, while his wife arranges funeral arrangements in Hawaii.
Expressing disbelief over his son’s death, Michael shared his last text exchange with Hudson, which conveyed happiness and love. He mentioned that there were no apparent signs of despair beforehand, leaving him bewildered by the tragedy.
The parents remain unaware of any underlying issues that Hudson may have been facing, as they ponder what could have led to his untimely demise. Michael suspects that his son may have experienced mistreatment from fellow army personnel, potentially contributing to mental health struggles.
Hudson, who joined the Army in April 2016, had a deployment to Afghanistan from August 2018 to January 2019 while stationed at Fort Carson, Colorado.
In a statement to Metro, the Madsen family expressed their profound sadness and requested privacy during this challenging period. They emphasized Hudson’s cherished memories and the light he brought into their lives, conveying their deep gratitude for the support received. The entire family is reeling from the shocking news of Hudson’s passing.
