In the wake of her son’s death, Angus Cloud’s mother, Lisa Cloud, took to Facebook to grieve the loss and share her belief that his death was not due to suicide. “He was reorganizing his room and placing items around the house with intent to stay a while in the home he loved,” she wrote. “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.”
After it was revealed that Cloud died of an accidental overdose, Lisa confirmed to People that his death was not intentional and shared some heartbreaking details on her son’s passing. She shared, “It was predominantly the central nervous system depressants. It started to slow his heart and slow his breathing,” she explained, “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.”
Lisa continued to share to People how she was the one who sadly found Angus passed out. She said, “I started shaking him and screaming. I pushed him hard, and he fell on the floor. I tried to resuscitate him — mouth to mouth — and I was compressing him.” Lisa had one of her neighbors call 911, but it was too late. She knows that her son was loved deeply as tributes for him took over the internet.
