Zendaya’s statement comes a day after news surfaced of Cloud’s sudden passing. Prior to his death, the beloved “Euphoria” star had reportedly been struggling with the recent loss of his father.

In the emotional post, Zendaya shared a black and white photo of Cloud and wrote,

“Words are not enough to describe the infinite beauty that is Angus (Conor). I’m so grateful I got the chance to know him in this life, to call him a brother, to see his warm kind eyes and bright smile, or hear his infectious cackle of a laugh (I’m smiling now just thinking of it) I know people use this expression often when talking about folks they love.”they could light up any room they entered” but boy let me tell you, he was the best at it. I’d like to remember him that way. For all of the boundless light, love and joy he always managed to give us. I’ll cherish every moment.” 

She added,

“My heart is with his mother and family at this time and please be kind and patient as grief looks different for everyone.” 

According to recent reports, Cloud’s mother contacted 911 on the day that he died (July 31) to report a “possible overdose.” She told police that her son didn’t have a pulse. Cloud was later pronounced dead on the scene.
