Euphoria Actor Angus Cloud Passes Away Due to Accidental Overdose
In a tragic turn of events, Angus Cloud, the talented actor known for his role in the hit show Euphoria, has passed away at the age of 25. A coroner’s report from California has revealed that his death was the result of an accidental overdose involving a dangerous mix of drugs.
The incident occurred in July at Cloud’s family home in Oakland, California. According to the Alameda County Coroner’s Bureau, Cloud’s demise was caused by a lethal combination of methamphetamine, fentanyl, cocaine, and benzodiazepines.
Following his untimely death, Cloud’s mother shared on social media that she believed her son had not intended to end his life. She mentioned that in the hours leading up to his passing, he had been discussing his future plans for himself and his family.
The family also opened up about Cloud’s ongoing battle with mental health issues, emphasizing that they hoped his passing would serve as a reminder to others that they should not suffer alone and in silence.
Tragically, Cloud had recently experienced the loss of his father to mesothelioma, a form of cancer, and had traveled to Ireland to lay his father to rest just a week before his own passing.
Angus Cloud gained widespread recognition for his portrayal of the character Fezco, a drug dealer, in the popular teen drama series Euphoria. Interestingly, Cloud’s journey into the world of acting began when he was discovered while working at a restaurant in Brooklyn, New York, by the casting director of Euphoria.
The creator of Euphoria, Sam Levinson, expressed his deep sorrow at Cloud’s passing, remarking on his uniqueness, talent, and the struggles he faced with addiction and depression. Levinson also conveyed his love for Cloud and extended his condolences to his family.
