In a shocking and heartrending turn of events, Euphoria star Angus Cloud passed away on Monday at the young age of 25, leaving a profound sense of loss among his fans and the entire entertainment community.

Leading figures, including Drake, Kerry Washington, Chloe Bailey, Jordyn Woods, and Kathrine Narducci, were quick to honour the memory of the late actor. Drake, who holds an executive producer role for Euphoria, and the aforementioned stars took to social media to pay heartfelt tributes.

Angus, an emerging star and aspiring fashion icon, was found by his mother in their family home in Oakland, California, late in the morning. In a distressing 911 call, his mother mentioned a “possible overdose,” according to reports by TMZ.

Drake paid his respects by posting a photo on Instagram of Angus from March 2022 at the Revolve Social Club in LA, captioning it with: “Good soul,” accompanied by a teary-eyed emoji and a dove, often used as a symbol of peace.
