Baldock joined Panathinaikos last summer after seven years with Sheffield United.

According to the Daily Mail, the club has decided to honour the contract and pay the defender's wages to the family.

That's not all. It's suggested Panathinaikos are considering organising a friendly charity match in memory of the player to help the family.
