Angus Cloud, known for his role as Fezco, the drug dealer and mentor in the hit HBO Max series Euphoria, has passed away at 25 from a possible overdose. On Monday, July 31, Angus was found unresponsive at his family’s home in Oakland, California, leading to a heartbreaking loss for his loved ones and fans.
Angus’ death comes as a shock to many, as he was a rising star in Hollywood and had gained significant recognition for his portrayal of Fezco. The character, who served as a friend and protector to Zendaya’s character, Rue Bennett, resonated with viewers and showcased Angus’ talent and versatility as an actor.
According to TMZ, the Oakland PD and Fire Dept. responded to a 911 call made around 11:30 AM Monday by Angus Cloud’s mother, where she reported a “possible overdose” and said Angus did not have a pulse. The HBO star was pronounced dead on the scene.
Reports suggest that Angus had been struggling with severe suicidal thoughts following the recent loss of his father in Ireland. The actor had been staying with his family during this difficult time to find solace and cope with his grief.
Fans and fellow actors have taken to social media to mourn the loss of Angus and express their condolences. Co-stars like Storm Reid and Javon Walton have shared heartfelt tributes, highlighting Angus’s impact on their lives both on and off-screen. The HBO and Euphoria network also released a statement, remembering Angus as immensely talented and a beloved member of the show’s family.
The exact cause of Angus’ death has not been disclosed by his family. However, comments regarding his mental health struggles suggest the possibility of suicide. The police have launched an investigation to determine the cause of his passing.
Angus’ family told TMZ:
“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.”
The late star’s portrayal of a drug dealer in Euphoria has faced criticism from drug abuse organizations like D.A.R.E. They claim that the show’s depiction of drug addiction may influence teenagers negatively and glorify drug abuse.
The tragic passing of Angus Cloud echoes the devastating trend of young artists losing their lives to drug overdoses. Memphis rapper Big Scarr, who was just 22 years old, also lost his life to an overdose earlier this year.
