Former Nfl Player Glenn Foster Was Found Dead In A Police Cruiser Upon Arrival At Medical Facility

Further details are emerging about the mysterious death of former New Orleans Saints player Glenn Foster, and the latest development reveals that he was found dead in the back of a police cruiser while being transported to a medical facility.

Foster’s family has hired Ben Crump to look into his death while in police custody.

As we reported, Foster is alleged to have attacked an inmate over a pair of socks after his arrest on Dec. 5 at Pickens County, Alabama. He passed away the next day.

According to WAFB, his family believes that Foster may have been suffering from a manic episode. Records show Foster was taken into custody on suspicion of simple assault and third-degree robbery, and he had a series of mental health issues, which were reported to officials.

“The fact is that he was subdued in handcuffs and posed no risk. There is no reason why he was alive in police custody and sixteen minutes later he was dead. We will not rest until we get answers and justice,” Crump said.

Co-counsel Diandra “Fu” Debrosse Zimmermann also noted that it was the police’s responsibility to ensure Foster’s safety while he was in custody and they failed.

“[Law enforcement] denied him both his liberty and his safety,” Zimmerman said. “It is appalling and unacceptable that he wound up dead on their watch. His family told police that he struggled with mental health issues, and they sought to pick him up and take him for treatment.”

“Instead of ensuring that he was treated appropriately and getting him the care he needed, they recklessly took his life,” Zimmerman added.
