<\/p>\n
Angus Cloud died suddenly in July aged just 25, and now the Euphoria actor\u2019s mum has spoken out about trying to resuscitate him. <\/p>\n
Lisa has opened up about her beloved son while standing in Cloud\u2019s bedroom at her home in Oakland, California.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018He was so beautiful and creative. He loved his home and he loved this little, tiny room,\u2019 she shared.<\/p>\n
Speaking of the devastating moment she approached Cloud who was sitting on his bedroom desk to say good morning before discovering something was wrong, she said: \u2018I started shaking him and screaming. I pushed him hard, and he fell on the floor. I tried to resuscitate him \u2014 mouth to mouth \u2014 and I was compressing him.<\/p>\n
\u2018I was screaming for my neighbour because I didn\u2019t want to leave him and call 911, and I just kept at it until they took him away.<\/p>\n
\u2018I miss him so much. He was the love of my life,\u2019 she told People through tears.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Alameda County Coroner ruled his death as an accidental overdose.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s understood Cloud, full name Conor Angus Cloud Hickey, died from a combination of drugs including fentanyl, cocaine, benzodiazepine and methamphetamine, suffering acute intoxication from the lethal dose.<\/p>\n
Lisa explained that his heart and breath slowed, and this was predominantly due to central nervous system depressants.<\/p>\n
The young actor, who played Fezco in Euphoria, was said to be struggling following the death of his father, who died weeks before from mesothelioma.<\/p>\n
Angus and his twin sisters \u2018were all devastated,\u2019 explained Lisa, but previously said: \u2018his last day was a joyful one.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u2018He didn\u2019t kill himself,\u2019 she stated.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u2018He was reorganizing his room and placing items around the house with intent to stay a while in the home he loved. He spoke of his intent to help provide for his sisters at college, and also help his mom emotionally and financially. He did not intend to end his life,\u2019 she explained on Facebook.<\/p>\n
\u2018When we hugged goodnight we said how much we loved each other and he said he would see me in the morning. I don\u2019t know if or what he may have put in his body after that. I only know that he put his head on the desk where he was working on art projects, fell asleep and didn\u2019t wake up.\u2019<\/p>\n
Lisa recalled that Cloud obtained an injury while running away from the police when he almost got caught tagging. <\/p>\n
During the incident, he cracked his calcaneus on his heel and was forced to walk with a cane.<\/p>\n
\u2018That\u2019s really what started his drug-seeking behavior, I think. It was hugely painful.\u2019<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In the wake of his death, Lisa has found the tributes from fans \u2018very moving\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u2018You know, he\u2019s not just an actor who overdosed. He was a beautiful soul, and that\u2019s why people miss him so much,\u2019 she added.<\/p>\n
Zendaya is one of the people who\u2019ve shared positive memories. She told the publication: \u2018He felt like a little brother instantly; ironic because we played characters with the exact opposite dynamic.<\/p>\n
\u2018I\u2019m lucky because I got to experience the most beautiful parts of him.\u2019<\/p>\n
Apart from his breakout role in Euphoria, Cloud\u2019s other credits include roles in The Line and cameos in music videos for artists like Becky G, Karol G and Juice WRLD.<\/p>\n
