Hudson Madsen, son of renowned actor Michael Madsen, tragically passed away in January 2022 at the age of 26. It was reported that he died from a gunshot wound to the head, suspected to be a suicide. The City and County of Honolulu Dept. of the Medical Examiner confirmed this heartbreaking news.

While grieving their loss, the Madsen family shared a heartfelt statement with Metro:
“We are heartbroken and overwhelmed with grief and pain at the loss of Hudson. His memory and light will be remembered by all who knew and loved him. We ask for privacy and respect during this difficult time.”

In the midst of their sorrow, Michael Madsen spoke up about his son’s passing in a statement to The Los Angeles Times, expressing his shock and disbelief. He shared the last text he received from Hudson, which said, “I love you dad,” just a few days before his unfortunate death. There were no apparent signs of depression, leaving Michael struggling to comprehend what happened.

While trying to make sense of the situation, Michael Madsen revealed that Hudson had faced challenges in his life, particularly related to finances, but he remained hopeful for the future. He desired a family and was looking ahead, which makes his sudden death even more difficult to grasp.

The actor also expressed his belief that Hudson’s time in the army may have contributed to his struggles. It was reported that Hudson faced mockery and resistance when he sought therapy for his mental health issues. He had served a deployment in Afghanistan and was stationed at Fort Carson, Colorado.

Hudson was married to his wife Carlie, and their social media presence showed a happy and loving couple. Despite the challenges in their lives, their marriage was described as strong by Michael Madsen.

The loss of Hudson Madsen is a devastating tragedy. We send our heartfelt condolences to the Madsen family during this difficult time. May Hudson rest in peace.
