Jose Becker, 57, had been swimming at a dam on his property
when the accident happened on Wednesday afternoon, Doroteo Machado Filho, a
police inspector in the town of Lavras do Sul, told Reuters. No foul play was
suspected.
Brazilian club Internacional, who both Alisson and his
brother Muriel played for, tweeted their condolences.
"It is with great sadness that we received the news of
Jose Agostinho Becker's death, the father of our ex-goalkeepers Alisson and
Muriel," the club said.
Alisson began his career at Internacional before joining
Roma in 2016. He moved to Liverpool, where he has established himself as one of
the world's best keepers, two years later.
The 28-year-old has been a regular for Liverpool since
joining the club, helping them to win the Premier League, Champions League,
Club World Cup and European Super Cup in that time.
He has also won 44 caps for Brazil and was named FIFA Best Men's
Goalkeeper in 2019.
Alisson's brother, Muriel, also began his career at
Internacional. The 34-year-old joined Portuguese club Belenenses in 2017 but
returned to Brazil with Fluminense two years later.
He has three caps for Brazil's U20 side.
O Fluminense Football Club lamenta profundamente o falecimento de José Agostinho Becker, pai dos goleiros Muriel e Alisson. Desejamos toda a força aos amigos e familiares.

Fluminense said on Twitter: "Fluminense Football Club
deeply regret the passing of Jose Agostinho Becker, father of goalkeepers
Muriel and Alisson. We wish all strength to his friends and family."
The death of Jose Becker comes just weeks after Jurgen
Klopp's mother, Elisabeth, passed away.
The Liverpool manager was unable to attend her funeral due to a German ban on travellers from England.
Com muito pesar, o São Paulo FC recebe a triste notícia da morte de José Agostinho Becker, pai dos goleiros Alisson e Muriel. Nossas condolências e solidariedade aos dois atletas e a seus familiares. Muita força e muita luz neste momento.
