The former professional footballer George Baldock died in an accident in his own swimming pool with no drugs or alcohol in his system, an inquest has found. The 31-year-old Greece international had been living in Athens after signing recently for Panathinaikos when he died on 9 October last year.
Baldock spent most of his career playing as a defender for MK Dons and Sheffield United, having been born in Buckinghamshire, and had played a club fixture just three days before the incident.
