'Euphoria' Star Angus Cloud Dies At The Age Of 25

Angus Cloud, best known for his role as Fez on Euphoria, has died at the age of 25.

According to TMZ, Oakland PD and Fire Dept. responded to a 911 call made around 11:30 AM Monday by the star’s mother, who reported a "possible overdose," and said Angus did not have a pulse.

He was eventually pronounced dead on the scene.

Cloud’s family confirmed his death in a statement to TMZ on Monday, July 31st. “It is with the heaviest heart that we had to say goodbye to an incredible human today. As an artist, a friend, a brother and a son, Angus was special to all of us in so many ways.”

The family revealed that Cloud had recently lost his father and “intensely struggled with this loss.”

“The only comfort we have is knowing Angus is now reunited with his dad, who was his best friend,” their statement continued.

“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 humour, laughter and love for everyone. We ask for privacy at this time as we are still processing this devastating loss.”

A statement remembering Cloud was also posted to the Euphoria official Twitter account.

“We are incredibly saddened to learn of the passing of Angus Cloud,” the statement began.

“He was immensely talented and a beloved part of the HBO and Euphoria family. We extend our deepest condolences to his friends and family during this difficult time.”

Euphoria creator Sam Levinson also shared a statement with The Hollywood Reporter, saying: “There was no one quite like Angus. He was too special, too talented and way too young to leave us so soon. He also struggled, like many of us, with addiction and depression. I hope he knew how many hearts he touched. I loved him. I always will. Rest in peace and God Bless his family.”
