An “accidental overdose” claimed the life of “Euphoria” star Angus Cloud
A forensic report published Thursday showed that the death of American actor Angus Cloud, one of the stars of the series “Euphoria,” at the age of 25, last July, was caused by an “accidental overdose” of drugs.
A spokesman for the Alameda County Coroner’s Department in California said: “Angus Cloud died from a fatal combination of fentanyl, cocaine, methamphetamine and benzodiazepine, in what is considered an accidental overdose.”
It became clear that Cloud “was suffering from severe poisoning associated with this mixture of drugs.”
The actor played the role of drug dealer Fizco “Fez” O’Neill alongside actress Zendaya, in the series “Euphoria,” one of HBO’s biggest hits, which won a number of Emmy Awards.
When announcing his death, Cloud’s family said that he had been suffering recently due to the death of his father, and that he was suffering from psychological problems.
His family explained that “he was speaking openly about his battle with his mental illness,” and hoped that his death “would serve as a warning to others that they are not alone, and should not face the disease alone.”
“Euphoria” is one of the most successful series produced by “HBO,” and deals with the dark lives of contemporary American teenagers whose daily lives include drug addiction and sexual violence.
The series allowed Angus Cloud to play his first acting role, as one of the directors chose him to participate in this work while he was walking with his friends in the streets of Brooklyn in New York.
