"We are devastated to hear of Marton's passing," Sunderland chief executive Margaret Byrne told the club's website (www.safc.com) on Thursday. "He was a genuinely lovely man, liked and respected by everyone at the club.
"It is desperately sad when we lose a member of our Sunderland family but to lose one so young and in such circumstances is simply heart-breaking."
Fulop, who also played for MTK Budapest and the Greek side Asteras Tripoli, won 24 caps for Hungary.
He made his international debut under then-coach Lothar Matthaeus against France in March 2005 and recorded a total of nine clean sheets.
Falop also had spells at Ipswich Town, Manchester City, Stoke City, Leicester City, West Bromwich Albion and Tottenham Hotspur.
