Acclaimed actor found unresponsive at Malibu home; cause suspected cardiac arrest.
Veteran actor Michael Madsen, recognized for his iconic roles in Kill Bill, Reservoir Dogs, and Donnie Brasco, has died at age 67. He was found unresponsive in his Malibu home earlier today, with emergency responders later confirming his passing. No official cause yet, though his publicist suggested cardiac arrest as a strong possibility.
Madsen recently underwent a routine hospital visit for a shoulder issue stemming from a long-ago horseback riding accident. Sources reveal he had also been treated for a minor brain bleed, but was given a clean bill of health mere days before his death.
Beyond his blockbuster roles, Madsen had been engaged in independent film projects—Resurrection Road, Concessions, and Cookbook for Southern Housewives—and was in the process of editing his memoir Tears For My Father: Outlaw Thoughts and Poems.
Hollywood insiders and fans alike are now paying tribute to a versatile performer whose gruff charisma left an indelible mark on cinema. He is survived by a legacy of unforgettable performances and upcoming creative work.
