Angus Cloud's Cause Of Death Revealed  

Euphoria star Angus Cloud's sudden death was the result of an accidental overdose of fentanyl, cocaine and methamphetamine.

The Alameda County Coroner's Office confirmed the cause of death to our sister site Variety.

Cloud's death was announced by his family on July 31; the actor was just 25 years old. "It is with the heaviest heart that we had to say goodbye to an incredible human today," his family said in a statement. "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. 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."

Cloud made his screen debut in Euphoria, which premiered on HBO in 2019 and shocked audiences with its graphic depiction of sex and drug use by its high school student characters. Cloud played Fezco O'Neill, aka Fez, an easygoing drug dealer who took a liking to Zendaya's drug addict character Rue.

Cloud appeared in both seasons of Euphoria so far, with Fez striking up an unlikely romance with Rue's friend Lexi, played by Maude Apatow. Season 2 ended with police raiding Fez's home, with Fez being arrested and his partner in crime Ashtray killed in a shootout. Euphoria has been renewed for Season 3, but its return date has been pushed back until 2025 (at the earliest) due to the writers' strike, series creator Sam Levinson's work on The Idol and Zendaya's busy schedule.
