Former Sheffield United defender George Baldock has reportedly been found dead in his swimming pool in Greece.
The 31-year-old joined Panathinaikos in the summer after spending seven seasons with the Blades in the Premier League and Championship.
Baldock, who was capped 12 times by Greece due to having a Greek grandfather, started his career at MK Dons and played in all of England’s top five divisions. He also spent time playing on loan at IBV in Iceland.
His death was initially reported by Greek outlets including Sport24 and SDNA.
Baldock’s wife reportedly tried to contact him and after several hours without a response, got in touch with the owner of the villa in which he lives.
After searching the suburban property, they found Baldock in the pool and called the emergency services.
A doctor as part of the response unit verified that Baldock had passed away.
