Caption: Former Sheffield United Footballer George Baldock Died from Drowning in His Own Pool, Inquest Finds. The 31-year-old’s death was deemed an accident, with no evidence of drugs or alcohol in his system, according to the Milton Keynes Coroner’s Court. A post-mortem revealed Baldock had a very large heart, which made him susceptible to heart arrhythmias, contributing to the fatal incident. Greek authorities found no signs of criminal activity in connection with Baldock’s death. Tributes poured in from his former clubs, and a period of silence was held at the England-Greece Nations League match in his honor. Baldock’s family expressed their heartbreak, describing him as a special father, fiancé, and friend, whose infectious personality touched many. Baldock, who had been living in Athens, was found unresponsive in the pool at his Glyfada home on 9 October, with attempts at resuscitation unsuccessful. His family stated they will cherish the special memories of Baldock, who will continue to live on through his son. Baldock, a former Sheffield United and MK Dons player, had represented Greece in his football career before his untimely passing.
