Reports of actor Angus Cloud’s death came as a shock to loved ones and viewers of his on July 31 of this year. Cloud’s death has now been ruled an accidental overdose as a medical examiner has determined that he had had  cocaine, methamphetamine, fentanyl, and benzodiazepines in his system.
He had died at his Oakland home at the age of 25 years old and had been well known for his role on HBO’s show, Euphoria as well as a known figure in his community in Oakland. His mother, Lisa Cloud spoke of her son in a touching message where she wrote to Oakland Tribute and said:
“Angus’s flame burned bright and powerful. His message of love and kindness reached far beyond his hometown circle of friends. Thousands of people he never met feel love for him because his heart, spirit, humor and kindness was like a lighthouse personified. The people he touched outside of his circle are also mourning the loss of our beloved friend, son, brother, nephew. Please know that Angus didn’t plan to leave us. He would never have wanted to cause the pain and loss we experience. Please know that Angus would want everyone of us to thrive, love and create.”
She continued, “Honor your grief but remember that Angus lives on in our hearts. Love is the force that binds us together. The value of life isn’t measured by how many days you live, it is measured by how you live those days. The 25 years Conor Angus Cloud Hickey spent in this life is immensely valuable. His beautiful body is no longer with us, but his spirit is free and unencumbered now.”
