The beloved star Angus Cloud passed away on July 31, 2023 due to an accidental overdose. Cloud was 25 years old and mourning the loss of his father at the time. Cloud was best known for his work on the hit TV show Euphoria where he played Fezco, a drug dealer who took care of his younger brother, Ashtray (Javon Walton).

Cloud was a phenomenal actor who will be missed dearly. His father, whom Cloud was extremely close to, tragically passed away the week prior from mesothelioma, a rare and severe form of cancer. His mother released a statement saying her soon took the loss extremely hard but did not intend on taking his own life. Many co-stars including Zendaya, Maude Apatow and Sydney Sweeney took to social media to express the difficulty of this loss.

Cloud touched millions of people due to his kind and loving ways. He was an extremely likable man and a fantastic actor. As a result, people across the world are paying tribute to ensure his family and friends understand how admired he was. Billie Eilish even gave tribute to him during her performance on Aug. 3, 2023.

No one knows what will now happen with the show Euphoria, but many fans have said that without Cloud, the show cannot go on.
