Zendaya posted a black and white photo of Angus along with the heartfelt message, admitting that she had been grateful “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),” she added.

The pair were known to have crossed paths before their onscreen friendship on Euphoria, as they both attended the Oakland School for the Arts in California. “We had some of the same friends … but I didn’t really know her,” he said to the Wall Street Journal back in 2019 following the premiere of the popular show.

“Angus was open about his battle with mental health, and we hope that his passing can be a reminder to others that they are not alone and should not fight this on their own in silence,” the family shared.
