The final text Michael Madsen received from his son before he committed suicide read, “I love you dad.”. Hudson Madsen, 26, was a U.S. citizen and the prodigal son of a Hollywood legend.
According to his father, the Army Sergeant who committed suicide in Hawaii had just finished his first tour.
Kill Bill star Madsen said to the LA Times, “I am in shock as my son, whom I just spoke with a few days ago, said he was happy—my last text from him was “I love you dad.”. “I observed no indications of depression. It’s so sad and tragic. I’m just trying to make sense of it all and figure out what happened,” he said.
Hudson was Madsen’s oldest child with wife DeAnna Madsen, followed by brothers Kalvin and Luke, whose godfather was Quentin Tarantino. With his ex-wife, Jeannine Bisignano, Madsen has two additional sons, Christian and Max. His wife, Carlie, whom he married in 2019, shared positive social media posts about their relationship. According to Carlie’s social media, the couple planned to use IVF since they couldn’t conceive naturally.
On January 22, 2022, just one week before he passed away, Carlie uploaded a photo of herself wearing a hospital gown to Instagram, revealing that she had recently had a tumor removed. “I just want to give a shout-out to my amazing husband! Yesterday I had surgery to remove a tumor from one of my breasts and he was and has been so patient throughout this whole process,” she writes in the caption. Snapped at the Tripler Army Medical Center, a D.O.D. hospital in Hawaii, Carlie continued, “We were at the hospital for about 7 hours yesterday and while I was in surgery he went to Target and got me flowers, comfy pajamas, my favorite candy, and a card! He’s also been amazing in helping with my recovery and I’m just so thankful. ”.
Everyone was baffled by what happened to lead to Hudson’s suicide.
He had the typical life challenges that people have with finances, but he wanted a family, Madsen said of the father, who was 64 at the time and distraught over his suicide. It’s mind-blowing because he was looking forward to his future. I just don’t understand what happened. ”.
The Once Upon a Time in Hollywood actor, Gage Skidmore Madsen, also disclosed that his son, who had served in Afghanistan, was actually dealing with mental health issues behind the scenes. The actor explained that his son, who required therapy, stopped seeking assistance because of problems he was keeping to himself. Madsen requested a military investigation after becoming concerned “that officers and rank and file were shaming,” the results of which are still classified. A month after Hudson committed suicide, Madsen—known for his work on Quentin Tarantino’s bloody comedies—was detained in Malibu at the opulent residence from which he had just been evicted. Madsen was granted bail after being accused of trespassing.
The actor has a criminal record; according to TMZ, he was charged with child endangerment in 2012 and was charged with DUI in 2019 after crashing his SUV.
The actor walked into his home and found his teenage son smoking marijuana.
The two got into an argument.

Madsen had a physical altercation with his young son, according to TMZ, and when the police arrived, they saw several signs of injury on the boy. According to reports, Madsen appeared to be drunk at the time of his arrest. The son’s name was kept a secret, but Madsen’s was. The family issued a statement following Hudson’s passing, saying, “We are heartbroken and overwhelmed with grief and pain at the loss of Hudson. Everyone who knew and loved him will keep his memory and light in mind. In a touching tribute to her husband, whom she affectionately refers to as “Lump,” Carlie writes on her Instagram on January 23, 2023, “I don’t even know how it’s been a year without you. It still hurts as much as it did on that particular day.
I always wake up thinking about you, and I always think about you just before I go to sleep at night. I’m hurting so badly and missing you so much that I’m at a loss for words. I just wish you would have spoken to me and informed me of what was happening that day,” she continued. I’m truly sorry that you believed this to be the only solution. I’m sorry I didn’t do more and didn’t notice the warnings. I’m sorry I disappointed you. Just know that I think of and am thinking of you constantly. I adore you even more, Lump, and I miss you so much.”.
