Angus Cloud, an up-and-coming actor best known for his role as “Fezco” on the HBO series Euphoria, has died. He was 25.
In a statement to the media, the actor’s family said he passed away Monday in Oakland, just days after his father was laid to rest.
“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. 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,” the statement read.
“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 family added.
