Angus Cloud, an actor who rose to prominence playing Fezco “Fez” O’Neill on HBO’s “Euphoria,” has died at age 25, according to a statement from his family released to TMZ.

“As an artist, a friend, a brother and a son, Angus was special to all of us in so many ways,” said the statement from Cloud’s family. “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.”

The actor, who played Fez on “Euphoria” for three seasons, was also set to appear in an upcoming monster thriller film for Universal Studios, according to IMDb.

In their statement, Cloud’s family asked that the public respect their privacy as they mourn the “devastating loss” and “remember him for his humor, laughter and love for everyone.”
