Officials have released the cause of death of former English Premier League player George Baldock, who was found dead in a swimming pool at his home in Greece in October.
The Milton Keynes Coroners Court revealed at an inquest hearing on Wednesday that the 31-year-old soccer player had died as a result of drowning. A post-mortem examination found no traces of drugs or alcohol in his system at the time of his death.
