Angus Cloud, best known for his role as Fez in the critically acclaimed HBO series “Euphoria,” tragically passed away in July at the age of 25. The Alameda County Coroner’s Office recently confirmed that his cause of death was an accidental overdose of fentanyl, cocaine, methamphetamine, and other drugs. It is devastating news for his family, friends, and fans alike.
Angus Cloud had been dealing with the loss of his father, who passed away shortly before his own untimely death. Just a week before the overdose, he had traveled to Ireland to attend his father’s funeral. The burden of grief seemed to have taken a toll on him, and it’s heart-wrenching to think that he was unable to find the support he needed in his final moments.
In addition to his breakthrough role as Fezco, Angus Cloud had a promising career ahead of him. He had already made a name for himself in projects like “North Hollywood,” “The Line,” and “The Perfect Woman.” Furthermore, he had three upcoming projects in the pipeline, including “Your Lucky Day,” “Freaky Tales,” and an untitled “Monster Thriller” for Universal Studios. Sadly, he will never get to witness the fruits of his labor in these works.
TMZ has reported on Angus Cloud’s passing, and while an official cause of death is still pending, his family suspects that drugs may have played a part. They mentioned that Angus had been struggling with his mental health, particularly after his father’s recent passing. The family paints a vivid picture of the immense pain Angus was enduring, returning from his father’s funeral only to face his own internal battles.
Tragically, it was at his family’s home in Oakland, California, that Angus Cloud’s life came to an end. His mother made a distressing call to 911, suspecting that her son had overdosed on drugs. Emergency responders were quick to arrive, but despite their efforts, Angus could not be revived.
In a heartfelt statement shared with TMZ, Angus Cloud’s family expressed their deep sorrow. They acknowledged his immense talent as an artist, and the impact he had on those around him as a friend, brother, and son. They revealed that Angus had been open about his struggle with mental health and hoped that his passing would bring awareness to others facing similar challenges. They emphasized the importance of seeking help and not battling these struggles alone.
During this incredibly difficult time, the family has requested privacy as they navigate their grief and come to terms with their devastating loss.
Rest in peace, Angus Cloud. Your talent, warmth, and spirit will be sorely missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing you.
