Washington DC (US):Hollywood actor Angus Cloud, best known for playing the role of Fezco O’Neill in the popular show Euphoria, passed away on Monday in Oakland, California at the age of 25.

Fez and another female character, Lexi, are shown singing the song Stand By Me together in season 2, episode 6 of Euphoria, with a touch of purity that was needed in the episode. Fez, calm and collected, tries to wipe away his tears and says, "Think I got something in my fu***ng eye." Fez then takes Lexi's hand in his and the two begin to sing together "And the land is dark, and the moon is the only light we’ll see. Oh I won’t be afraid, just as long as you stand by me.”
According to Variety, a US-based media outlet, the Oakland Fire Dept. said it responded to a medical emergency at approximately 11:30 a.m., and the patient was “already deceased.” The cause of death was unknown, the fire department said. The Oakland Police Dept. confirmed that it remains an “active death investigation.”
“It is with the heaviest heart that we had to say goodbye to an incredible human today,” Cloud’s family said in a statement, adding, “As an artist, a friend, a brother and a son, Angus was special to all of us in so many ways. 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", reported Variety.
