Greek Authorities Rule Out Foul Play in Baldock Death

George Baldock, the former Sheffield United defender, was found dead in the swimming pool at his home in Glyfada, southern Athens, at the age of 31. Greek police have confirmed that there is no evidence of criminal activity surrounding his death, following a preliminary investigation and examination by a forensic pathologist. The cause of death was recorded as drowning, as reported by local media sources. The Football Association announced a period of silence before the Nations League match between England and Greece, with players from both teams wearing black armbands in tribute. Baldock’s family expressed their shock and requested privacy during this difficult time, while tributes poured in from the football community. He had recently signed with Panathinaikos after a successful stint at Sheffield United lasting seven years.
