Angus Cloud has passed away at the age of 25.

Cloud died on July 31 at his family home in Oakland, California, according to his publicist Cait Bailey. The cause of death has not been revealed, but TMZ reported that his mother called 911 to report a possible overdose and that he had no pulse when the paramedics arrived.

Cloud’s family issued a statement confirming his death and asking for privacy. They said that he had been struggling with mental health issues and the recent loss of his father, who died of cancer a week before and was buried in Ireland. They also said that he was an incredible human being who had a lot of humor, laughter and love for everyone.

Cloud’s death has sparked a lot of speculation and rumors about what really happened to him. Some of the theories that have been circulating online are:

1. He was murdered by someone who had a grudge against him or wanted to rob him. Some fans pointed out that he had posted a picture of himself holding a large amount of cash on Instagram a few days before his death. They also noted that he had been involved in some altercations with other people in the past, such as when he punched a man who tried to steal his phone in New York.

2. He committed suicide because he was depressed and lonely. Some fans claimed that he had posted some cryptic messages on social media that hinted at his suicidal thoughts, such as “I don’t want to be here anymore” and “I’m sorry for everything”. They also suggested that he felt isolated and misunderstood by the Hollywood industry and that he had trouble coping with fame and pressure.

3. He died of natural causes or an accident. Some fans argued that he had no reason to kill himself or to overdose on drugs, as he seemed happy and successful in his career and personal life. They said that he had a loving family, loyal friends and supportive fans who cared for him.

4. They also said that he had a healthy lifestyle and that he did not abuse drugs or alcohol. They speculated that he might have had an undiagnosed medical condition or that he might have accidentally ingested something harmful.

None of these theories have been confirmed or denied by Cloud’s family or representatives, who have asked for respect and discretion during this difficult time. The official cause of death will be determined by the coroner’s office after conducting an autopsy and toxicology tests.

Cloud was best known for his role as Fezco, a drug dealer and friend of Rue (Zendaya), the main character of Euphoria. The HBO show, created by Sam Levinson, depicts the lives of a group of teenagers dealing with issues such as addiction, sexuality, violence and trauma. Cloud’s performance as Fezco was praised by critics and viewers alike for his authenticity and charisma.

Cloud had no formal acting training and was discovered by a casting agent on the street while he was working at a chicken and waffle joint. He told GQ in 2019 that he thought it was a scam at first, but then decided to give it a try. He said that he did not know how to act and that he felt like an impostor in rooms with people who had been acting their whole life.

Cloud had also appeared in two films, North Hollywood and The Line, and in music videos for artists such as Becky G, Karol G and Juice WRLD. He had expressed his desire to continue acting and to explore other genres and roles.

The Euphoria team paid tribute to Cloud on social media, sharing photos and memories of him. Zendaya posted a picture of him smiling on Instagram and wrote: “I don’t have the words right now. I’m grateful for the time I got to spend with you. You were one of the kindest people I’ve ever met. I’ll miss you so much.” Levinson tweeted: “There was no one quite like Angus. He was too special, too talented and way too young to leave us so soon.”

Cloud’s fans also expressed their grief and condolences online, using hashtags such as #RIPAngusCloud and #ThankYouFezco. Many of them praised his talent, personality and impact on the show. Some of them also shared resources and information about mental health awareness and support.

Cloud’s death is a tragic loss for the Euphoria family and for everyone who admired him. He will be remembered for his brilliant portrayal of Fezco, his unique style and his genuine kindness. He was a star that shone bright on screen and off screen.

Rest in peace, Angus Cloud.
