‘Euphoria’ Star Angus Cloud’s Mom Reveals His Last Words.
Angus Cloud's mom Lisa opens her son's bedroom door at her Oakland, California, home. The walls are covered with his riotous graffiti — an explosion of colorful shapes and doodles Angus began drawing in the third grade, followed by spray-painting in middle school. "He was so beautiful and creative," she says, breaking the stillness. "He loved his home and he loved this little, tiny room." Lisa points to a wooden desk, splattered with paint reminiscent of Jackson Pollock. She pauses and shakes her head, her voice growing mournful: "This is where my boy passed away."

On July 31 Conor Angus Cloud Hickey — "Conor" to his family and childhood friends — suddenly died at 25 years old. That harrowing morning Lisa had found her son slumped over his desk. He often fell asleep in his chair while creating art. But as she approached him to say good morning, she realized something was wrong. "I started shaking him and screaming. I pushed him hard, and he fell on the floor.

"It was predominantly the central nervous system depressants. It started to slow his heart and slow his breathing," says Lisa, her son's jacquard Gucci shawl draped around her shoulders back in the living room. "He got tired from lack of oxygen. Everything just slowed down, and eventually his heart stopped and he went to sleep. But he didn't kill himself.” In her grief she’s been buoyed by the outpouring of love from her son’s fans. “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. You know, he's not just an actor who overdosed. He was a beautiful soul, and that's why people miss him so much."
In the months leading up to his death, Angus had been grieving the loss of his father, Conor Hickey, who died on May 18 at 65 just three months after receiving a mesothelioma cancer diagnosis. A week before his fatal overdose, Angus spread his father's ashes in Ireland with his family, including his twin sisters Molly and Fiona. “My son and his twin sisters were deeply grieving about their dad," L
