Kill Bill actor Michael Madsen's son Hudson Madsen has sadly passed away, aged 26. Authorities did not confirm when the tragedy took place. He had been living in Wahiawa, Hawaii, with his wife Carlie. Photographs from his Facebook page indicate that he had served in the US army and was posted in Afghanistan for some time. Hudson was the godson of Oscar-winning director Quentin Tarantino. His father has collaborated with Tarantino on multiple films, including Reservoir Dogs, Kill Bill, and The Hateful Eight. Outside of his work with Tarantino, Michael is known for his roles in Die Another Day, Sin City, Thelma and Louise and Donnie Brasco.
