How did Angus Cloud die?
Nearly two months after his death, the Alameda County Coroner revealed that Angus died of acute intoxication following an accidental overdose.
As per People, The 25-year-old had cocaine, methamphetamine, fentanyl, and benzodiazepines (depressant drugs often used to treat conditions such as anxiety disorders, insomnia, and seizures) in his system at the time of his death.
“It was predominantly the central nervous system depressants. It started to slow his heart and slow his breathing," continued Lisa.
Adding, "He got tired from lack of oxygen. Everything just slowed down, and eventually, his heart stopped and he went to sleep. But he didn't kill himself.”
She further said, “He went out at his total power, his total beauty, his total influence, and the reaction that everyone has had is very moving to me. You know, he's not just an actor who overdosed. He was a beautiful soul, and that's why people miss him so much."
