It has been confirmed on Saturday evening that footballer turned reality star Michael Thalassitis has sadly been found dead.
The young lad’s manager has confirmed that he was found in the woodlands near his home in Southend-on-Sea, Essex, coming just months after his best friend Danny Cutts passed away.
The cause of his passing is not known with police yet to reveal any information.
