Michael Madsen’s son Hudson Lee’s suicide probed by Army after barracks death as actor says he was ‘shamed over therapy’

THE death of Hollywood actor Michael Madsen’s war hero son is being investigated by the Army after he was found dead in a suspected suicide at his barracks amid claims he was "shamed" for seeking therapy, The Sun can reveal.

Hudson Madsen - who was legendary director Quentin Tarantino’s godson - was found with a gunshot wound to the head at his on-post residence at Schofield Barracks near Wahiawa, Hawaii, on Sunday.

Authorities would not confirm when the tragedy took place.

Hudson was the godson of legendary movie director Quentin Tarantino, according to IMDb.

Father Michael, 64, and Quentin, 58, are longtime collaborators who have worked together on classic films such as Reservoir Dogs and Kill Bill Vol.1 and Kill Bill Vol. 2.

Hudson appears to have served in the US Army and posted pictures on his social media taken in Afghanistan.

A spokeswoman for the Department of the Medical Examiner in Honolulu said: “I can confirm Hudson Lee Madsen, 26, died by a gunshot wound to the head in a suspected suicide on the island of Oahu.”

According to his Facebook profile, Hudson lived in Wahiawa, Hawaii, with his wife Carlie. 

Earlier this month, Carlie wrote on social media to praise “amazing husband” Hudson for helping her as she went through surgery.

 She wrote: “He’s also been amazing in helping with my recovery and I’m just so thankful!”  

A source told The Sun that Hudson’s mom DeAnna Madsen, 61, was traveling to Hawaii to deal with the tragedy.

Aside from his work with Tarantino, Michael is known for his performances in such hit movies as Die Another Day, Sin City, Thelma and Louise and Donnie Brasco. 

The Sun reached out to the family but a relative declined to comment.

The family said in a statement to The Blast: "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."
