The cousin of England footballer Jermain Defoe has been electrocuted in a freak holiday accident on a Caribbean island.
Hannah Defoe, 20, died after she dived into a hotel swimming pool in St Lucia.
The Tottenham Hotspur striker was on the club's pre-season tour of America when he was told the news and has been allowed to return to the UK to be with his family.
A statement on Tottenham's website said: 'Jermain Defoe is to return home from our pre-season tour of the United States after receiving the tragic news of the death of his cousin Hannah Defoe while on holiday in St Lucia.
'Everyone at the club sends their sincere condolences to Jermain and his family and all our thoughts are with them at this sad time.'
The Foreign Office confirmed the death, which is believed to have taken place on Wednesday.
An spokeswoman said: 'We are aware of a death of a British national in St Lucia.
'We are currently offering consular assistance to the family.'
It is understood that Hannah's mother Janet was taken to hospital after getting an electric shock as she tried to save her daughter.
Hannah, a performing arts student from Enfield, North London, had flown to the island only days earlier.
What a devastating tragedy. It is absolutely terrible that a young woman can be killed in this way, whilst on holiday celebrating her 21st birthday. My heart goes out to her family. There is a lot to be said about "no-one promises us tomorrow..." It is so true, as we just never know what will befall us. I hope and pray her 21 years on earth were packed with great experiences, fun, laughter and love
R.I.P Hannah.
