The father of Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker has drowned in a lake near his holiday home in Brazil.
Jose Becker, 57, had been swimming at a dam on his property when the accident happened. Local police say that no foul play was suspected.
Brazilian club Fluminense, where Alisson's brother Muriel is a goalkeeper, posted on social media that it was deeply sorry for the death of Mr Becker.
The club tweeted: 'The Fluminense Football Club deeply regrets the death of Jose Agostinho Becker, father of goalkeepers Muriel and Alisson..
'We wish all friends and family all the strength.'
Internacional, where both Alisson and Muriel played, also offered condolences.
Alisson played at Internacional between 2013 and 2016 before he joined Roma. He left Italy after two seasons to join Liverpool.
