The club Panathinaikos of Athens said goodbye this Thursday through a statement to the Greek-English international footballer George Baldockwas found dead last night at his home in the Greek capital. “We are shocked, we are shocked by the loss of our George. The Panathinaikos family mourns his death,” the Athenian team said in a statement released Thursday.
The 31-year-old defender was found dead on Wednesday night in the pool of his home, located in the Glyfada neighborhood of Athens. According to the Greek newspaper ‘Kathimerini’, his wife has been trying since midday on Wednesday to contact him by phone from the United Kingdom, although he has been unsuccessful.
Finally, he called the owner of the house, who came to the house that evening and found Baldock dead in the pool. The first assessments of forensic experts suggest that the death of the footballer occurred due to pathological causes.
Born in Buckingham (England) and of English nationality, Baldock is an international in the Greek national team since 2022, because one of his grandparents is Greek, so he has the right to wear the shirt of this country.
He started his career in the youth ranks of Milton Keyne Dons and was a footballer for Sheffield United from 2017 until last May, when he was signed by Panathinaikos, a club where he played only a few games. Baldock is the father of a son.
