A British teenager who was found dead in Crete after a night out was the younger brother of Aston Villa and England footballer Luke Young.
The body of 17-year-old Andre Young, from Saffron Walden, Essex, was discovered on Wednesday in Malia.
The footballer said he and his family were "devastated" by the death.
Mr Young added: "He was a tremendous and talented person and a diligent student and this is such a waste of a promising life."
A Foreign Office spokesman said the teenager, who was found with serious head injuries, had been reported missing on the Greek holiday island on Monday.
