It is with heavy hearts that we mourn the unexpected passing of Angus Cloud, the talented actor known for his role as Fezco O’Neill in the popular HBO series, Euphoria. Angus, who was only 25 years old, was found dead at his family’s home in Oakland. Reports suggest that he had been battling severe suicidal thoughts following the recent passing of his father.
Just days before his tragic demise, Angus was seen at an album launch party, enjoying a night out with friends. He appeared to be in good spirits, laughing and smiling, giving no indication of the personal struggles he was facing. According to his close friend and the band’s photographer, Josh Kennedy, Angus had recently returned home from Ireland, where he had laid his late father to rest, and seemed to be coping with his grief.
Angus had been open about his mental health battles and had paid tribute to his father on Instagram just two weeks prior to his passing. The loss of his father deeply affected him, but his friends had hoped he was doing okay. Unfortunately, tragedy struck when Angus’s mother made a 911 call reporting a possible overdose, and responders found him without a pulse. Despite their efforts, Angus Cloud was pronounced dead at the scene.
The passing of Angus’s father, Conor Hickey, had occurred earlier in May in his native Ireland, leaving behind his wife Lisa Cloud McLaughlin and their three children. As the eldest, Angus was mourning the loss of his best friend. He had shared a touching image of his father on social media, expressing how much he missed him.
In a statement released by the family, they expressed their profound grief and described Angus as an incredible human being. They also urged others who may be struggling with mental health issues to seek help and support, emphasizing that no one should suffer in silence.

Angus Cloud’s role as Fezco in Euphoria had catapulted him to fame, and he was widely regarded as a breakout star. He shared a close bond with his on-screen partner in crime, Ashtray, played by Javon Walton. The Euphoria team, including director Sam Levinson and producer Drake, mourned the loss of this unique and talented individual.
While the cause of Angus’s death remains unconfirmed, a man claiming to have worked for the actor earlier in April shared concerns about his battle with addiction, despite completing rehab two years prior.
In these difficult times, our thoughts and condolences go out to Angus’s mother, Lisa, who has lost both her husband and son in such a short span. The family has been touched by the outpouring of support and love from Angus’s fans and friends, who remember him for his humor, laughter, and love for others.
