Angus Cloud’s mother, Lisa, recently opened up in an interview with People about the tragic loss of her son. Angus Cloud, best known for his breakout role in “Euphoria,” tragically passed away in July after an accidental overdose. He was only 25-years-old.

In the interview, Lisa recounted the final moments she shared with Angus before his passing. She said he appeared to be in good spirits the night before, even saying he’d see her in the morning. “‘I love you, mama. You’re the best,'” Lisa recalled Angus telling her. “‘I’ll see you in the morning.'” it was Lisa who found him in the morning, saying she tried her best to resuscitate him, doing chest compressions and mouth to mouth until the ambulance arrived. “I started shaking him and screaming,” Lisa recounted. “I pushed him hard, and he fell on the floor. I tried to resuscitate him — mouth to mouth — and I was compressing him. I was screaming for my neighbor because I didn’t want to leave him and call 911, and I just kept at it until they took him away.” Lisa said that she thinks of her son every day, getting emotional saying “I miss him so much. He was the love of my life.”

Angus was grieving the loss of his father, Conor Hickey, who passed away just months before Angus’ passing. His father passed away in May just three months after being diagnosed with mesothelioma cancer. “My son and his twin sisters were deeply grieving about their dad,” Lisa shared. “They were all devastated.”

Although Lisa’s pain is unimaginable, she opened up about the overwhelming support from Angus’ fans that she and her family have received. “He went out at his total power, his total beauty, his total influence, and the reaction that everyone has had is very moving to me,” she said. “You know, he’s not just an actor who overdosed. He was a beautiful soul, and that’s why people miss him so much.” Lisa reflected on her son’s influence throughout his life saying, “I always knew he was special and I’m so glad the world also found out he was special. My son will always shine bright.”
