Angus Cloud, who played Fezco on the HBO drama Euphoria, died at the young age of 25 on Monday.

Just days before his untimely death, he was photographed with friends at an event and appeared to be in good spirits, his friends said.

On Friday, he was seen hanging out at an album launch party for the rap band MacArthur Maze, smiling with his friends and the group’s photographer, Josh Kennedy, reports the New York Post.

Cloud’s pals told The Sun that he attended the party “for a few hours and did not show any sign of a personal struggle.”

“We grew up together. It’s been tough today. Friday, that was the last day I saw him, he came to our record release party,” Kennedy revealed to the outlet.

“He was happy, very happy to be home. He was in Ireland for a while, we spoke about his dad recently, he was sad about it, but he seemed to be doing okay.”

Cloud’s father, Conor Hickey, also died recently after a brief cancer battle.

“I don’t even think he drank [at the event], I didn’t see him drinking, but I don’t know, I was working taking photographs,” Kennedy said.

He noted that Cloud seemed normal, was taking photos with fans and was laughing. The artist teared up and said he “felt sick” to learn of Cloud’s death and said it’s all “so new to him.”

Cloud’s family confirmed the star’s passing in a statement on Monday to The Post: “It is with the heaviest heart that we had to say goodbye to an incredible human today. As an artist, a friend, a brother and a son, Angus was special to all of us in so many ways.”

The Euphoria cast also paid tribute to their co-star following news of his death.

“There was no one quite like Angus. He was too special, too talented and way too young to leave us so soon. He also struggled, like many of us, with addiction and depression,” the HBO show’s creator, Sam Levinson, said.

“I hope he knew how many hearts he touched. I loved him. I always will. Rest in peace and God Bless his family,” Levinson, 38, concluded.

Javon Walton — who portrayed Ashtray, the little brother of Cloud’s character, Fezco, a fan-favourite drug dealer, in Euphoria — captioned an Instagram picture of themselves with “Rest easy brother.”

The 17-year-old actor shared another snap on his Instagram Story, writing, “Forever family.”
