TMZ reported that the 25-year-old actor had been battling with suicidal thoughts after he’d returned home to Ireland following the death of his father. Cloud’s family announced his death in a statement to the outlet.
“It is with the heaviest heart that we had to say goodbye to an incredible human today,” the statement read. “As an artist, a friend, a brother and a son, Angus was special to all of us in so many ways.”
The statement continued: “Last week he buried his father and intensely struggled with this loss. The only comfort we have is knowing Angus is now reunited with his dad, who was his best friend. 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. We hope the world remembers him for his humor, laughter and love for everyone. We ask for privacy at this time as we are still processing this devastating loss.”
An investigation is being launched into his death, per a police statement to the outlet, and police do not suspect foul play.
HipHopDX sends its condolences to the family and friends of Angus Cloud during this difficult time.
Damn, suicide. That’s rough. Had to be tough times for sure. Death comes in threes. Sinead O’Connor, Pee-Wee Herman, and now Angus Cloud.
RIP to all of them. They’ll be truly missed. Prayers 🙏🏾 ✝️ for the families and friends!
It’s always hard for me to decide whether if I should feel remorse or think it’s cowardly to commit suicide.
Ain’t nothing cowardly behind it. You have to have some pretty big balls to defy god and say when where and how you go.
Mental illness i guess mental illness can make someone do anything
Nothing cowardly about that. It’s natural instinct for people to fight to survive even if you in the middle of the act. Dude had to fight some serious demons. RiP to that guy.
Big balls to defy God and take your life away huh? FOH with your bullshxt opinion trying to normalize someone’s cowardice cause he can’t go through life’s bittersweet journey. It’s hard for everybody. Sometimes you have ups and sometimes you have downs. Just deal with it and don’t take the easy route by taking your life away.
