"Euphoria" star Angus Cloud suddenly died Monday in his Oakland, California home at the age of 25, a family statement announced.
“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,” they said in a statement.
“Last week he buried 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.”
“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.”
Cloud's mother reportedly called authorities at around 11:30 a.m. Monday after she found her pulseless son suffering a “possible overdose.”
First responders pronounced the actor dead at the scene; sources said that Cloud had suicidal thoughts in the days that followed his father's passing.
Cloud was best known for his role as Fezco on the HBO series “Euphoria.”
“We are incredibly saddened to learn of the passing of Angus Cloud. He was immensely talented and a beloved part of the HBO and Euphoria family,” HBO said in a statement.
“We extend our deepest condolences to his friends and family during this difficult time.”
