The world mourned the loss of Angus Cloud at the tender age of 25, and now, almost two months later, the cause of his untimely death has come to light.
Discovering the Cause of Angus Cloud’s Passing
The official cause of death for the talented Euphoria star, Angus Cloud, has been unveiled. HBO’s beloved actor fell victim to a lethal combination of substances, including fentanyl, cocaine, methamphetamine, and more, as reported by TMZ. His tragic demise has been officially attributed to an accidental overdose. The Alameda County Coroner’s findings indicate that the actor suffered acute intoxication due to the combination of these drugs, which also included benzodiazepine.
Angus Cloud left this world on July 31, leaving behind a bereaved family who shared their heartbreak in a statement to TMZ on the same day. “It is with the heaviest heart that we had to say goodbye to an incredible human today,” their statement began. “As an artist, a friend, a brother, and a son, Angus was special to all of us in so many ways. Last week he buried his father and intensely struggled with this loss.”
Continuing, the statement expressed, “The only comfort we have is knowing Angus is now reunited with his dad, who was his best friend. Angus was open about his battle with mental health, and we hope that his passing can be a reminder to others that they are not alone and should not fight this on their own in silence. We hope the world remembers him for his humor, laughter, and love for everyone. We ask for privacy at this time as we are still processing this devastating loss.”
Shortly following news of his passing, TMZ reported that Angus’s mother had made a harrowing 911 call, describing a “possible overdose” and revealing that he had no pulse around 11:30 a.m. on July 31. A source disclosed that after his father’s death, Angus grappled with “severe suicidal thoughts” and had recently returned from a trip to Ireland to lay his father to rest. Angus was pronounced dead at the scene while staying with family members in Oakland at the time of his passing.
Angus Cloud’s role as Fezco on the immensely popular HBO series marked his breakthrough in the world of acting. However, the journey was not without its challenges. “It surprised me,” he confided to Variety, reflecting on the demands of his character. “Because I’m not in there sweating and busting my a**, but mentally, I get off work, get in the car and go, ‘S***! What the f***? I’m tired as f***, and not even doing s***!’ I’m a pretty easygoing, goofy guy. But Fezco doesn’t laugh or smile too much.”
Nonetheless, acting held a special place in his heart. “It’s the best job I ever had,” he mused, though he also contemplated other paths he might explore. “Buy a boat. Find an island,” he pondered. “Post up in a tent. See what happens next.”
Angus Cloud’s passing serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by many in the entertainment industry and the importance of mental health awareness and support. His memory lives on through his work and the impact he had on those who knew and admired him.
