LOS ANGELES — Hollywood actor Michael Madsen, whose film career spanned decades and included roles in “Reservoir Dogs,” “Kill Bill” and “Donnie Brasco,” died from heart failure, his cardiologist told NBC Los Angeles.
Madsen was found unresponsive Thursday at his Malibu home. He was 67.
His doctor said heart failure will be listed as the cause of death, with heart disease and alcoholism named as contributing factors.
Deputies responded to the Los Angeles County home after a 911 call early Thursday. Madsen was pronounced dead at the residence.
No autopsy will be conducted because the cardiologist who was treating Madsen signed the death certificate. The case is considered closed by the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department, with no foul play indicated, and is listed as a death from natural causes.
