How did Angus Cloud die? TMZ first broke the news that Angus Cloud had died through speaking with his family. Variety later confirmed the same news. No cause of death was immediately given but later, TMZ and ET reported that Oakland PD responded to a 911 call made around 11:30 am on July 31, 2023, by Cloud’s mom, reporting a “possible overdose,” and said her son did not have a pulse. He was eventually pronounced dead on the scene.

“The Oakland Police Department (OPD) is investigating a death that occurred today, July 31, 2023, just after 11:30 AM, in the 200 block of Euclid Avenue,” the OPD said in a statement supplied to ET. “The victim was pronounced deceased at the scene. The cause of death is unknown. There’s no additional information being released at this time. This is an active death investigation.”

In a separate statement, the Oakland Fire Department added, “This morning, at approximately 11:30 a.m., Oakland Fire was dispatched to the 200 block of Euclid Ave in Oakland for a medical emergency.  Upon the arrival of Fire EMS personnel, the patient was determined to be already deceased. Per protocol, the body was left in the care of the police department and coroner. Cause of death is unknown. No further information from the Fire Department is available at this time.” 

NBC and Page Six confirmed Angus Cloud’s cause of death on September 21, 2023. The actor died from an accidental overdose of fentanyl, cocaine, methamphetamine and more. He alsos uffered acute intoxication from the combination of drugs which also included benzodiazepine, according to the Alameda County coroner.

The statement supplied by the family indeed suggested he was struggling to deal with the death of his father, which occurred a week prior. His dad, who passed away at age 65 after a battle with cancer, was buried in Ireland, in the family’s home village of County Meath. Cloud had just returned home to Oakland.

“It is with the heaviest heart that we had to say goodbye to an incredible human today. As an artist, a friend, a brother and a son, Angus was special to all of us in so many ways,” the statement said.

“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.” They concluded: “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.”

On August 15, 2023, TMZ reported that no suicide note was found, suggesting that his death may have been a tragic accident. “Multiple law enforcement sources involved in the death investigation tell us Angus did not leave behind a note when he died suddenly,” the tabloid reported.
