The actor, who starred as Fezco “Fez” O’Neill on the HBO series for two seasons died at his family home in Oakland.

Angus Cloud’s Cause Of Death Ruled as Accidental Drug Overdose
New details emerging give credence to his mom’s suspicion. The Alameda County Coroner released a report on Thursday, September 21, confirming Angus Cloud’s cause of death as an accidental drug overdose. Per the reports, the star suffered acute intoxication from the combination of drugs like fentanyl, methamphetamine, and cocaine. They also found traces of benzodiazepine which also contributed to his death.
Notably, the medical examiner’s ruling of his death as accidental clamps down initial suspicions that Angus Cloud died from suicide. Recall that following his death, a family insider claimed the actor had been battling suicidal thoughts since burying his dad one week prior. His dad, Conor died in May 2023, after a brief battle with cancer. The demise of the family patriarch plunged his loved ones into a state of grief. The source revealed Angus stayed in his family home after his dad’s passing in a bid to overcome his grief. Sadly, the family suffered his own loss shortly after. These claims from the insider and the circumstances of his death appeared to solidify the suicide theory.
However, Angus’ mom strongly denied the claims her son was suicidal. The Coroner’s report confirming Angus Cloud’s cause of death proves Lisa was right about the Euphoria star all along. Regardless, his passing at twenty-five, at the peak of his Hollywood stardom took its toll on the world.
