Aston Villa and England defender Luke Young said: "My family and I are devastated by the tragic death of my younger brother Andre in Malia, Crete, earlier this week.
"He was a tremendous and talented person and a diligent student and this is such a waste of a promising life."
Holidaymaker Bethany Billings, 21, who saw Andre before he went missing, told the Daily Mirror: "He was proper drunk. He knew he'd had enough and wanted to go home."
It is unclear how Andre died but it is believed that police in Crete are not treating the death as suspicious.
