Panathinaikos' George Baldock found dead in pool

Authorities are trying to determine the exact circumstances of his death, as it has been reported that nothing indicated this outcome, except for the fact that he had not communicated for several hours. His wife, who was in England with their daughter, was searching for him and had to contact the owner of the house that Baldock was renting to have him check on what was happening. The man went to the property only to find the 31-year-old footballer dead in the pool.

His death was immediately confirmed by the ambulance rescuers who rushed to the scene shortly after the notification but could do nothing to revive him. According to information, Baldock had been in the pool dead for at least five hours, with more details expected to emerge after the autopsy.

The same reports indicate that the police handling the case will obtain video footage from security cameras, and forensic investigators have already taken fingerprints from the house.

Baldock’s body showed no wounds or signs indicating any criminal activity. When the ambulance arrived, the footballer had already been retrieved from the pool by the police present at the scene. He was wearing his swimsuit, indicating that he was likely swimming when the tragic event occurred.

The technical director of Panathinaikos, Giannis Papadimitriou, and Giorgos Tzavellas, the director of the club’s football department and a former teammate on the Greek national team, arrived at the scene immediately. A crowd of teammates and team officials, such as Zeka, Senkefeld, Magnusson, Vilena, and Perez, gathered outside the residence, trying to comprehend the tragic event.
