In another call before that, the insider said actor was swearing he was going to rehab.

MICHAEL MADSEN DEAD AT 67
Michael Madsen, the actor known for iconic roles in films like Reservoir Dogs and Kill Bill, has passed away at the age of 67.
He was found unresponsive at his Malibu home, and first responders pronounced him dead on Thursday morning.
While the official cause of death has not yet been released, his manager confirmed that he died from cardiac arrest, with no foul play suspected, according to Today.
Los Angeles County deputies responded to a 911 call at Michael Madsen’s Malibu home, where he was pronounced dead at 8:25 am.
The sheriff’s department told NBC News that Madsen appeared to have died from natural causes, and no foul play is suspected.
In recent years, Madsen faced significant personal challenges, including spousal battery charges and a contentious divorce.
He was last seen in public in April, appearing disheveled.
At the time of his death, Madsen was involved in 18 unreleased projects, as noted on his IMDB page.
Michael “was really looking forward to this next chapter in his life,” his managers, Smith and Susan Ferris, as well as publicist Liz Rodriguez, said in a statement.
They said he was also set to release a new book called Tears For My Father: Outlaw Thoughts and Poems.
“Michael Madsen was one of Hollywood’s most iconic actors, who will be missed by many,” the statement added.
TRAGIC FINAL YEARSMichael Madsen was a father of six children.
In January 2022, his son Hudson Madsen tragically died by suicide at the age of 26. Hudson was one of three sons Michael shared with his wife, DeAnna Madsen, whom he married in 1996.
In August 2024, Madsen was arrested on a domestic battery charge following allegations that he assaulted DeAnna.
Shortly after the arrest, he filed for divorce from his wife. However, just weeks later, Madsen stated that he had no intention of going through with the divorce.
In an Instagram post, Madsen clarified that his wife had no involvement in Hudson’s death, despite claims made in his divorce filings.
“Losing a child is the hardest and most painful experience that can happen in this world,” he wrote at the time.
The nature of Michael Madsen’s relationship with DeAnna at the time of his passing remains unclear.
Along with DeAnna and his children, Madsen is survived by his younger sister, Virginia, who shared a heartfelt tribute to him on Thursday.
“We’re not mourning a public figure. We’re not mourning a myth — but flesh and blood and ferocious heart,” Virginia wrote in a statement shared with Variety.
