Angus Cloud, the actor who starred as the drug dealer Fezco BԪַFezBԪַ OBԪַNeill on the HBO series BԪַEuphoria,BԪַ has died. He was 25.

CloudBԪַs publicist, Cait Bailey, said Cloud died Monday at his family home in Oakland, California. No cause of death was given.

In a statement, CloudBԪַs family said goodbye to BԪַan artist, a friend, a brother and a son.BԪַ

BԪַLast week he buried his father and intensely struggled with this loss,BԪַ the family said. BԪַThe 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.BԪַ

BԪַWe hope the world remembers him for his humor, laughter and love for everyone,BԪַ his family added.

Cloud hadnBԪַt acted before he was cast in BԪַEuphoria.BԪַ He was walking down the street in New York when casting scout Eléonore Hendricks noticed him. Cloud was resistant at first, suspecting a scam. Then casting director Jennifer Venditti met with him and series creator Sam Levinson eventually made him a co-star in the series alongside Zendaya for its first two seasons.

To some, Cloud seemed so natural as Fez that they suspected he was identical to the character BԪַ a notion that Cloud pushed back against.

BԪַIt does bother me when people are like, BԪַIt must be so easy! You get to go in and be yourself.BԪַ IBԪַm like, BԪַWhy donBԪַt you go and do that?BԪַ ItBԪַs not that simple,BԪַ Cloud told Variety. BԪַI brought a lot to the character. You can believe what you want. It ainBԪַt got nothing to do with me.BԪַ

The part made Cloud the breakout star of one the buzziest shows in television. He was recently cast to co-star in BԪַScream 6.BԪַ

BԪַWe are incredibly saddened to learn of the passing of Angus Cloud,BԪַ HBO said in a statement. BԪַHe was immensely talented and a beloved part of the HBO and BԪַEuphoriaBԪַ family. We extend our deepest condolences to his friends and family during this difficult time.BԪַ
