Four days after the news broke, his mother stated thatCloud’s death wasn’t “intentional.”
“Although my son 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,” Mclaughlin wrote in a Facebookpost. “He spoke of his intent to help provide for his sisters at college, and also help his mom emotionally and financially. He did not intend to end his life.”
“When we hugged goodnight we said how much we loved each other and he said he would see me in the morning,” she continued. “I don’t know if or what he may have put in his body after that. I only know that he put his head on the desk where he was working on art project’s, fell asleep and didn’t wake up.”
Cloud’s mother also noted that “we may find out that he overdosed accidentally and tragically,” but it is “abundantly clear that he did not intend to check out of this world.”
