“It is with the heaviest heart that we had to say goodbye to an incredible human today,” Cloud’s family said in a statement to Variety.
“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.”
