Former New Orleans Saints player Glenn Foster Jr. died in police custody Monday in Alabama, days after he was pulled over for an alleged traffic violation, his father said.
The 31-year-old athlete and father of four died of unexplained causes when he was in a Pickens County Sheriff’s Office transport between the jail and a nearby medical facility, Glenn Foster Sr. told The Washington Post in an interview Tuesday. After news of Foster’s death stirred questions and outrage from colleagues and fans, family members said they did not get a chance to see the defensive end-turned-entrepreneur from the time he was arrested Friday until he died Monday and are seeking answers.
