I believe Lila betrayed and killed her. It is alluded when Lila and LeChuck turn on each other - Lila has Madison's hat on her sword.
Trent was probably killed by Flair - we see them starting a fight and Flair appears later by the monkey head so she probably won.
She continued to not exist in the first place.

You are right. The scrapbook says that Madison definitely died by Lila betraying her. Lila also alluded to betraying Madison to LeChuck

It may surprise you to hear that none of these characters existed in the first place. It's a work of fiction.

Sort of hack storytelling, in any case.

No, not really.
First off because that is clearly what I was implying, secondly because that is what the ending outright states.

Personally I think more stories should end that way. I think the Lord of the Rings should have ended with Frodo finally getting to Mount Doom and discovering its a cardboard cut out with J.R. Tolkien's name stencilled on it in large letters at the bottom. Cut to credits.
Honestly though, I'm not sure the world is ready for that level of depth and cleverness in storytelling.

Yes, clearly Tolkien is a hack compared to the incredible depth of story and theme that Gilbert gave us. :D

lol according to that one person's logic, ALL works of fiction should have a meta ending because none of it was real in the first place.
