According to the coroner’s report, fentanyl, benzodiazepines, methamphetamine and cocaine were found in his system.Following his death, Levinson revealed in an extensive interview with People that he repeatedly encouraged Cloud to seek help for his struggles.He first intervened between the first and second season of Euphoria where, after the actor turned up to his office visibly unwell, he suggested to his family that Cloud should be sent to rehab.
