The young actor's death came barely a week after the passing of his father. "The only comfort we have is knowing that Angus is now reunited with his father, who was his best friend," the family stated. "Angus spoke openly about his battle with mental health and we hope his passing serves as a reminder to others that they are not alone and that they should not fight this alone in silence."
As TMZ reports, Oakland emergency crews responded to an emergency call from Cloud's mother reporting a possible overdose. By the time medical attention arrived, the actor had passed away.
