Angus Cloud valued his privacy, with the actor telling In The Know that he was careful about divulging details about his private life online. “I got a pretty tight-knit family and circle of friends and all that. I don’t need the world. I don’t want [everyone to] know my business, you know what I’m saying?” he said. “That’s just for me.” But he made an exception when he took to Instagram to pay tribute to his late father. On July 14, Cloud shared a touching photo of his dad smiling at him. “Miss u breh,” he wrote in the caption.
The post was an indication that Cloud was indeed facing difficulty processing his dad’s death. A source told Entertainment Tonight that the actor chose to be with his family to cope, and that following his father’s burial, he was reportedly showing signs of mental anguish. “Angus had been battling severe suicidal thoughts after getting back from Ireland, where Angus and his family laid his father to rest,” they noted. “Angus was staying with his family as he tried to work through overcoming the grief.”

The cause of death is unknown,” they declared in a statement to the outlet. “There’s no additional information being released at this time.”
