GRIEVING football star Jermain Defoe was flying back to the UK last night after his cousin died in a freak holiday accident.
Pretty Hannah Defoe, 20, was electrocuted as she dived into a hotel pool on the Caribbean island of St Lucia. Spurs and England star Jermain, 29 � in the US on a friendlies tour � was �devastated� after the latest tragedy to hit his family.
It comes just a month after his dad Jimmy, 49, died from throat cancer. Jimmy�s brother Matthew, 54, is Hannah�s dad. Jermain also suffered heartache in December when cousin Allan Edgar, 78, was killed in a robbery on St Lucia.
And his half-brother Jade Defoe, 26, died in a fight in 2009.
Last night Jermain�s auntie Janet Defoe was being treated in hospital after getting an electric shock as she tried to save her daughter.
Hannah�s body is said to have been in the pool for an HOUR.
The performing arts student, from Enfield, North London, had flown to the island just days earlier. She would have turned 21 next month.
Jermain�s spokesman said: �He is devastated. All the family are.�
St Lucia cops are investigating.
