Hickey's former rugby club in Ireland, Ashbourne Rugby Club, described him as a "legend."
"May Conor's gentle soul rest in peace," the club wrote in a statement on its website May 19.
Cloud rose to fame for his role as a drug dealer, Fezco, on "Euphoria," which also stars Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, and Hunter Schafer.
