The body of British-born Panathinaikos and Greece defender George Baldock was found on Wednesday in a swimming pool at his home in the southern Athens suburb of Glyfada, Reuters reported citing police sources.

The cause of death remained unknown.

Police tried cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the 31-year-old former Premier League player but could not revive him, a police official said.

The time of death was recorded as 10 p.m. local time (7 p.m. GMT).

Baldock, who was of Greek ancestry and was capped 12 times for the country, joined Panathinaikos in May from Sheffield United after the English side were relegated from the top flight.

He also played for lower league sides MK Dons and Oxford United.

Baldock made four appearances for Panathinaikos, including a 0-0 draw with local rivals Olympiakos last weekend, but had not been selected for Greece's Nations League squad for a game against England at Wembley on Thursday.
