by

According to CNN, it’s been reported that renowned American actor Michael Madsen passed away on July 3. His publicist Liz Rodriguez confirmed this news. On Thursday morning, he was found unconscious at his Malibu residence. The Los Angeles Sheriff Department’s Lost Hills Station disclosed that the actor was discovered unresponsive, and he was pronounced dead at 8:25 am. No signs of foul play were detected at the scene. Now, the entertainment industry is expressing their grief on social media following the sad demise of this gifted actor who faced difficulties in his later years.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d rephrase it like this: “I, as his sister and on behalf of our entire family, have taken to Instagram to pay tribute to my beloved brother, affectionately known as ‘Thunder’ and ‘Velvet’. His infectious spirit will be deeply missed, from our shared inside jokes and the unexpected bursts of laughter, to the unique sound of his voice.

Reminiscing about the boy he was before he became a legend, I find myself yearning for my big brother. My heart is filled with gratitude for everyone who has reached out with love and memories during this difficult time. Soon, we will share our plans for celebrating his life.

For now, though, we choose to stay close, letting the quiet moments speak for themselves when words fail.

It’s clear that Michael Madsen’s death during the Independence Day weekend didn’t go unnoticed, as Billy Baldwin put it, “It seems appropriate that Michael Madsen would pass away over the 4th of July weekend. He wasn’t like a firecracker – he was more like a full stick of dynamite on screen and in life. Rest in peace, my friend.

Rob Schneider praised Michael Madsen as a joy to work with, describing him as a talented actor and kind individual who made everyone feel at ease on set. He expressed his wish that they had the opportunity to collaborate more frequently. Walton Goggins, another co-star from The Hateful Eight, posted photos of their time together and referred to Madsen as an iconic figure with an unique aura. Jennifer Tilly, who worked with him in The Getaway, counted Madsen among her favorite co-stars.
