The family also mentioned that Angus "intensely struggled with this loss" after his father passed away just one week prior.

While the exact reason of Angus' passing has not yet been made public, Oakland Fire Department Chief of Staff Michael Hunt said they attended at a nearby house around 11:30 am for a "medical emergency." When the doctor arrived, "the patient was found to be already deceased."

Angus' mother called 911 and reported a "possible overdose," according to TMZ. The police then arrived at the scene. She claimed there was no pulse in her son. According to a family member, Angus had been experiencing strong suicidal thoughts since his return from Ireland after his father's funeral.
