He was 25 years old.“It is with the heaviest Eddy Chen/HBOheart that we had to say goodbye to an incredible human today,” his family began in a statement to TMZ. “As an artist, a friend, a brother and a son, Angus was special to all of us in so many ways. Last week he buried his father and intensely struggled with this loss. The only comfort we have is knowing Angus is now reunited with his dad, who was his best friend.”
His family addressed his mental health issues in the statement as well, although they did not explicitly say his struggles were the cause of his death. “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,” they said. “We hope the world remembers him for his humor, laughter and love for everyone,” they continued, wrapping up the statement. “We ask for privacy at this time as we are still processing this devastating loss.”
