Family says autopsy of former NFL player Glenn Foster suggests ‘evidence of strangulation’
autopsy of former NFL player Glenn Foster Jr., who was discovered dead in an Alabama jail earlier this month, suggested he may have been strangled or suffered trauma to his neck according to NBC News.
Foster passed away on Dec. 6, two days after he was arrested for driving at least 90 MPH in a 45 MPH zone. Foster was charged with three counts of reckless endangerment, resisting arrest and attempt to elude.
Foster’s father, Robert Foster, Sr., says his son previously experienced “manic” episodes. Along with being diagnosed with bipolar disorder a decade ago. The father told the Washington Post Foster had an altercation in the prison on Dec. 5. He was said to be found unresponsive the next day when he was transported in a Pickens County Sheriff’s Office transport between the jail and a nearby medical facility.
Foster may have been involved in a simple fight while in custody, but civil rights attorney Ben Crump and his lawyers say according to Dr. Michael Baden, an internationally known medical examiner, who performed an independent autopsy on Foster, there could be more to the story according to WAFB 9.
In a statement to NewsOne, co-counsels, Diandra Debrosse Zimmermann and Robert DiCello, said Foster’s death wasn’t the result of natural causes.
“Glenn Foster Jr.’s death, while in the Pickens County Sheriff’s custody and care, was not from natural causes as the independent autopsy suggests there was some evidence of neck compressions and strangulation,” Zimmermann and DiCello said. “As we continue to investigate the case, we are learning that Mr. Foster’s death in Pickens County appears to be part of a disturbing trend of Black men dying while in the custody of the Pickens County Sheriff’s Office.”
