‘Euphoria’ Star Angus Cloud’s Mother Recalls Actor’s Final Days: ‘He Did Not Intend To End His Life’
Although the details surrounding his death are still unclear, the actor’s mother took to Facebook in order to thank fans for their thoughts and prayers and suggest ways that they could honor her late son’s memory.
She began her lengthy post by thanking fans for their support, writing, “Friends, I want you all to know I appreciate your love for my family at this shattered time. I also want you to know that although my son was in deep grief about his father's untimely death from mesothelioma, his last day was a joyful one.”
His mother, Lisa Cloud, went on to recall his final days, describing how her son was “reorganizing his room and placing items around the house with intent to stay a while in the home he loved. He spoke of his intent to help provide for his sisters at college, and also help his mom emotionally and financially.”
She asserted that the actor “did not intend to end his life” and went on to write, “When we hugged goodnight we said how much we loved each other and he said he would see me in the morning. I don't know if or what he may have put in his body after that. I only know that he put his head on the desk where he was working on art projects, fell asleep, and didn't wake up.”
Lisa Cloud Admits Her Son May Have 'Overdosed Accidentally'
“We may find out that he overdosed accidentally and tragically, but it's abundantly clear that he did not intend to check out of this world,” she continued. “His struggles were real. He gave and received so much love and support to and from his tribe. His work in euphoria became a lightning rod for his generation and opened up a conversation about compassion, loyalty, acceptance, and love.”
She admitted that her son had a head injury about ten years that “miraculously didn't result in death as it almost always does. He was given 10 bonus years and filled them with creativity and love.” Lisa went on to say that social media posts suggesting that his “death was intentional” were false, adding, “I want you to know that is not the case.”
“To honor his memory, please make random acts of kindness part of your daily life. Bless your hearts,” she concluded. The post received thousands of likes and hundreds of comments and shares. Many fans took to the comments to send the family their condolences.

“I was so so hurt and saddened by your son’s loss. He was so incredibly talented so beautiful inside and out. My heart hurts that he's gone no longer here to create more powerful art but most of all because of your family’s loss. I too lost a brother and know what that gaping hole and pain does. My heart is with you and your daughters,” a third fan shared.
“So sorry beautiful lady for the passing of your sweet baby boy. I could never imagine what you are going through. I do know us women are made strong and together we can get through the worse that is put before us,” another fan shared.
"I do not believe he took his life intentionally, he was a kind gentle soul. He wanted to support you and his little sisters and that is what he intended on doing,” they continued. “He was the man of the house now. I am also so sorry about the passing of his father. Death is inevitable but a horrible thing for us on earth still living to have to endure.”
