The star Angus Cloud died at 25

Angus Cloud, the actor best known for his role on HBO’s teen drama Euphoria, has died aged 25, his family confirmed on Monday.

Cloud’s publicist, Cait Bailey said Cloud died Monday at his family home in Oakland, California. No cause of death was given.

“It is with the heaviest heart that we had to say goodbye to an incredible human today,” Cloud’s family said in a statement.

Cloud’s father had recently died, the statement said, and the actor “intensely struggled with the loss”.

“As an artist, a friend, a brother and a son, Angus was special to all of us in so many ways … 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.”

Just after the news of Cloud’s death broke on Monday, fans flocked to his Instagram comment section to offer tributes. One of his recent posts that appeared to be a tribute to his father had a slew of heartfelt condolences. 

“Rip the both of you are reunited again, sweet talented soul gone too soon," one person wrote.

"Im so sorry, sending love," another commented. "He was so sweet."

Best known for his breakout role as Fezco in the HBO teen drama, Cloud said he was discovered in the street by a casting agent and had never professionally acted before the series. His lovable and comedic character quickly became beloved by the dedicated fans of the series.

In a statement, Euphoria creator Sam Levinson said: "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."

HBO said in a statement that Cloud “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.”
