• Initial police inquiry finds no suggestion of foul play

The former Premier League footballer George Baldock “most likely” drowned in the pool of his seaside apartment in southern Athens, Greek authorities believe.

Police investigating the circumstances of the former Sheffield United and Greece defender’s death said there was no suggestion of foul play “at least at this stage of the inquiry”. In a statement, Baldock’s family added: “We can confirm that a postmortem examination has found that George tragically drowned whilst swimming in the pool at his home in Glyfada, Athens.”
