Cloud’s co-stars said goodbye to him on social media. “You were a beautiful, gentle soul. You left too soon,” Kathrine Narducci wrote on Twitter. “There was no one like Angus. He was too special, too talented and definitely too young to leave us so soon,” said director Sam Levinson in a statement.

A few days after the 25-year-old’s death, his mother, Lisa Cloud, wrote on Facebook: “He did not intend to end his life. As we hugged each other goodnight, we told each other how much we loved each other and he said he would see each other in the morning.” She added: “We may learn that he tragically overdosed by accident, but it is clear that he had no intention of leaving this world.”
