Various speculations were made about Angus Cloud's cause of death
While Angus Cloud's death was said to be a huge loss for the entertainment industry, several theories began trending online about his death after it was announced.
People magazine revealed in September that his mother Lisa responded to the theories in a Facebook post. She added that her son hadn't taken his own life. She wrote that while Angus was in "deep grief about his father's untimely death from mesothelioma," his last day was a "joyful one.
"He was reorganizing his room and placing items around the house with intent to stay a while in the home he loved," Lisa wrote on Facebook.
Lisa revealed that Angus was working on his art projects before his death and he fell asleep on the desk. She stated that he could have suffered from an overdose. Lisa recalled that her son had suffered a head injury ten years ago, which didn't end his life like it does in most cases.
"Social media posts have suggested his death was intentional. I want you know that it is not the case," Lisa wrote concluding the post.
Angus' family shared a statement after his death but did not reveal the cause of death at the time.

The family statement mentioned that they were comfortable in knowing that Angus was reunited with his father.
