American actor, Angus Cloud died in July of an accidental overdose of cocaine, fentanyl, and other substances, a Northern California coroner office said on Thursday, September 21. 

Cloud’s cause of death was “acute intoxication” due to the “combined effects of methamphetamine, cocaine, fentanyl and benzodiazepines,” the Alameda County Coroner’s Bureau said. The office confirmed the overdose was an accident.

The actor was declared dead at his parents’ home on July 31 in Oakland. He was 25.

In a statement at the time, his family said Cloud had been struggling with the death of his father.
