Angus Cloud, best known for his role as Fezco on HBO's Euphoria, has died. He was 25 years old.

A cause of death has not been confirmed yet, but reports suggest suicide. Sources say that Cloud had been "battling suicidal thoughts" ever since he returned from Ireland, where he had just laid his father to rest a week ago. He passed away in his family's home in Oakland, California.

"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 family statement said. "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."

HBO also released a statement following news of Cloud's death: "He was immensely talented and a beloved part of the HBO and Euphoria family. We extend our deepest condolences to his friends and family during this difficult time."
