Reservoir Dogs’ actor Michael Madsen, the son of his mother, has been declared dead. He committed suicide in Hawaii.
Hudson Madsen, the 26-year-old godson of Quentin Tarantino, died from an ‘apparent self-inflicted gunshot,’ according to The Sun.
A spokesperson for the Department of the Medical Examiner (Honolulu) confirmed that Hudson Lee Madsen (26) died from a gunshot injury to the head.
Hudson’s mother DeAnna Madsen, 61, was traveling to Hawaii to deal with the tragedy, a source told the publication.
His wife Carlie is his survivor. He had lived in Wahiawa since August 2019, after he was discharged from the U.S. Army, where he had allegedly spent some time in Afghanistan.
Madsen, who was stationed at Oahu’s Schofield Barracks, was promoted in March.
Carlie went through surgery on Monday, January 15. She also paid tribute to her husband who supported her.
“I just wanted to thank my incredible husband! On Instagram, she posted the following.
“Yesterday was my surgery to remove a breast tumor. My surgeon was very patient and kind throughout the whole procedure!
“We spent about seven hours at the hospital yesterday, and during my surgery, he took me to Target and bought me flowers, comfortable pajamas and some of my favourite candy, as well as a card. He was also amazing with helping me recover and for that I am so grateful.
‘I also want to thank my family and friends that have reached out to make sure I’m okay and to check in on me! You are all my family.

In 2017, Carlie from Minnesota met the couple. Carlie commented on Facebook to ask a friend if they were ‘a keepers’. My best friend lives there and I was introduced to him. He’s definitely a good friend!

Carlie says that the couple got married in 2018.
He was soon deployed to the Army.
One of my friends commented on January 20th, 2019, “Yo you home already Hudson Madsen?”
Carlie responded, “No, it keeps getting pushed back” – with a crying emoticon.
On January 27, 2019, he had returned home. Carlie posted a picture of them together.
On Instagram, Carlie shared that the couple had an official wedding at Cheyenne Mountain State Park in Colorado in June 2019.
“It was one my happiest and most interesting days of my entire life.
“We were having an outdoor ceremony in the middle of a severe thunderstorm, and everyone could not hear us.”
“I had been puking until about two minutes before I went to the toilet, and then I was able to walk down the isle.
“We were forced to turn off our DJ at the end of the reception, but luckily a new, better DJ arrived.”
“We nearly got kicked out our reception area because people were caught trying to sneak alcohol in.
“But even with all that, it was still one the most memorable days in my life. I got the chance to share the celebrations with my family and friends as well as marry my best friend.
“Thank you everyone who made it possible and it was an unforgettable day that I will always remember.
And thank you for being my amazing husband. You are my rock through all of this. You are my rock.
Madsen was promoted to March 2021. Carlie is proud to have noted this.
They relocated to Hawaii in August 2019
He was again deployed in May 2020, but this time, he did so from Hawaii.
It’s never easy to say goodbye, she said.
‘I’m already missing the s*** out of you. You must hurry to return home. You’ll be seeing me in five months, my dear. I love you even more.
Carlie, who was embarking upon fertility treatment for herself and her husband, revealed their intentions in March 2021. She said that she wanted to share the news with others so they could end stigma.
She wrote, “In the past 2 months Hudson (and I) discovered that we cannot have children naturally and that we must do IVF.”
“We were also informed that IVF will likely require 2 or more cycles of treatment to become pregnant. It is important to normalize and talk about this.
They also had a Facebook page full of kind comments.
Carlie Madsen shared her final picture with the couple in November. She captioned it: “So in love how these photos turned out.”
