Cardiac arrest with several triggers
As previously announced by his manager Ron Smith, Michael Madsen died of cardiac arrest. As can be seen from his death certificate, which “TMZ” received from the forensic doctor in Los Angeles, there were several triggers for it.
Accordingly, it was a combination of heart muscle weakness, a coronary artery disease and long -term alcohol abuse. In addition, a thromboembolic disease played a role. This creates blood clots that can loosen and clog other vessels in the body.
Projects shortly before his death
Shortly after Madsen’s death, his team released a statement: “In the past two years, Michael Madsen has done impressive work in the field of independent film-including upcoming feature films such as” Resurrection Road “,” Concessions “and; Cookbook for Southern Housewives’. He was really looking forward to this next chapter in his life.”
Madsen also prepared the publication of a new book entitled Tears “For My Father: Outlaw Thoughts and Poems”. “Michael Madsen was one of the most iconic actors of Hollywood and will be painfully missed by many,” the statement continues.
