A coroner has confirmed that the Euphoria actor Angus Cloud accidentally overdosed on fentanyl, cocaine, methamphetamine, and other drugs.
At the age of 25, the actor who played Fez in the popular HBO series died in July.
His cause of death was confirmed by the Alameda County Coroner’s Office to US media outlets on Thursday.
According to the report, he died from an “acute intoxication due to combined effects of methamphetamine, cocaine, fentanyl and benzodiazepines”.
The actor, whose father had recently died, had “intensely struggled with this loss,” according to Cloud’s family.
A week prior to his accidental overdose death at his family’s Oakland, California home, he had attended the funeral in Ireland.
‘He lit up the room’
“The only comfort we have is knowing Angus is now reunited with his dad, who was his best friend,” Cloud’s family said in a statement.
“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 appeared in music videos for artists including Becky G, Karol G and Juice WRLD, and played drug dealer Fezco “Fez” O’Neill in Euphoria.
Paying tribute to Cloud, his Euphoria co-star Zendaya wrote after his death: “I’m so grateful I got the chance to know him in this life, to call him a brother, to see his warm kind eyes and bright smile, or hear his infectious cackle of a laugh.
“I know people use this expression often when talking about folks they love… ‘they could light up any room they entered’ but boy let me tell you, he was the best at it. I’d like to remember him that way.”
