Angus Cloud, the American actor famous for his role in the HBO’s teen drama series ‘Euphoria’, is dead.
Cloud passed away on Monday at the age of 25 at his family home in Oakland, California.
A statement by his family revealed the actor “battled with mental health issues” after he buried his father last week in Ireland.
“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 statement, according to TMZ, reads.
“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.
“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.”
The cause of death has not yet been determined.
A few weeks ago, the actor also shared a cryptic post on his Instagram page about missing his father.
“Miss you breh”, he wrote in the terse post.
Cloud gained fame in 2019 as Fezco, a sweet-natured drug dealer who cared deeply for Rue, played by Zendaya, in ‘Euphoria’.
He has also been featured in music videos for artistes including Becky G, Karol G and Juice WRLD.
