Michael Madsen's Official Cause Of Death Determined
The cause of death for Michael Madsen, best known for his roles in "Reservoir Dogs," "Kill Bill," and "Donnie Brasco", has been confirmed.
He died of cardiac arrest brought on by cardiomyopathy, coronary artery disease, and chronic alcoholism, according to his death certificate from the L.A. County Medical Examiner.
Another contributing factor was thromboembolic disease – a condition where blood clots form in blood vessels and then travel to obstruct another vessel, causing a thromboembolism.
Deputies responded to Madsen's home on July 3 after a 911 call, where the actor was pronounced dead at the scene. He was 67.
The prolific actor's managers Susan Ferris and Ron Smith and publicist Liz Rodriguez released a statement following his departure: 'In the last two years Michael Madsen has been doing some incredible work with independent film including upcoming feature films Resurrection Road, Concessions and Cookbook for Southern Housewives, and was really looking forward to this next chapter in his life. Michael was also preparing to release a new book called Tears For My Father: Outlaw Thoughts and Poems currently being edited. Michael Madsen was one of Hollywood's most iconic actors, who will be missed by many.'
Madsen appeared in many Quentin Tarantino films including the role of Vic Vega/Mr. Blonde in "Reservoir Dogs", Budd in "Kill Bill" Volume 1 and Volume 2, Grouch Douglass/Joe Gaga in "The Hateful Eight" and Sheriff Hackett in "Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood".
He also starred in "Thelma & Louise", "Free Willy", "Species", and "Donnie Brasco".
While best known for his big-screen appearances, Madsen also worked in television over the decades.
He had a recurring role on "24" in 2010, and guested early in his career on such hit shows as "St. Elsewhere", "Crime Story" and "Quantum Leap". Later on, Madsen appeared in "CSI: Miami" and "Blue Bloods", among others.

"Predator: Badlands" Unveils Trailer
Yara Sameh 20th Century Studios has dropped the official trailer for 'Predator: Badlands,' the sixth installment in the beloved action sci-fi franchise. Directed by Dan Trachtenberg, the new Predator movie follows Dek, a young Predator outcast played by Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi, as he hunts for big game on an alien planet with the help of Elle Fanning's character, Thia, an android built by the Weyland-Yutani Corporation from the Alien franchise. Trachtenberg previously directed 'Prey,' the last installment in the 'Predator' film series. 'Prey' was released exclusively on Hulu and went on to score four nominations at the 2024 Emmys. It would take home the win for outstanding sound editing. The filmmaker's other directorial bouts include films like '10 Cloverfield Lane,' and shows such as 'The Lost Symbol,' 'The Boys,' 'Black Mirror,' and 'BlackBoxTV.' Fanning recently starred as Russian monarch Cathrine the Great in three seasons of Hulu's 'The Great' and starred opposite Timothée Chalamet as Sylvie Russo in James Mangold's Bob Dylan biopic 'A Complete Unknown.' Some of her former credits include 'Super 8,' 'Maleficent,' 'Trumbo,' 'The Boxtrolls,' 'The Neon Demon' and 'B'Twixt Now and Sunrise.' The original 'Predator,' directed by John McTiernan and starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Carl Weathers, was released in 1987. The film was produced for $15 million ($41 million after inflation) and grossed just under $100 million (about $300 million after inflation) at the global box office. Other films in the 'Predator' franchise include 1990's 'Predator 2,' 2010's 'Predators' and 2018's 'The Predator.' The famous extraterrestrial monster has also gone toe-to-toe with a xenomorph from the 'Alien' franchise twice. Hulu recently released animated feature-length project, "Predator: Killer of Killers". Trachtenberg serves as director and reunites as co-writer with 'Prey' screenwriter Patrick Aison. Brent O'Connor serves as producer while Richard Cowen co-produces. 'Predator: Badlands' hits theaters on November 7.
