Former New Orleans Saints defensive end Glenn Foster Jr. has died in custody two days after his arrest in Alabama. The lineman, 31, was involved in a high-speed chase with police which ended in a crash and a short stint in jail during which he was unable to receive medical help, his family say. The former sports star had been driving 92mph in a 45mph zone and a high-speed chase ensued until he ran over a spike strip and crashed into cars and a business, police said. Former New Orleans Saints defensive end Glenn Foster Jr. has died in custody two days after his arrest in Alabama Reform Police Department chief Richard Black said officers spotted Foster driving at speeds up to 90 mph in a 45 mph zone Foster's parents said that they believe life-saving care wasn't provided for their son, saying he might have experienced a mental health episode (pictured with his mother and sister) Foster was then involved in a 'minor tussle' with officers. But while in jail, additional charges not related to the chase were added to his record, and his death remains shrouded in mystery. The Pickens County Sheriff's Office, where Foster was in custody, referred questions to the Alabama State Bureau of Investigation. The death is under investigation while an autopsy is pending, the Pickens County Medical Examiner and Coroner's Office told WWL. Foster's parents said that they believe life-saving care wasn't provided for their son, saying he might have experienced a mental health episode. 'We want justice for our son,' said Glenn Foster Sr., Foster's father. 'It's unfair. It's inhumane. It's just not right.' The lineman, 31, was involved in a high-speed chase with police which ended in a crash and a short stint in jail Reform Police Department chief Richard Black said officers spotted Foster driving at speeds up to 90 mph in a 45 mph zone (pictured with his wife Pamela) When Foster was first booked into jail early Saturday morning, it was on charges of reckless endangerment, resisting arrest and attempting to elude police. According to the records, he was booked for the second time on Sunday at 3.16pm on three counts of simple assault and one count of robbery. The new charges had nothing to do with the speeding incident and his family are perplexed about what happened. The record was updated later to show a release time of Tuesday afternoon, after his passing. Foster's family disclosed their son has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and it was agreed that the family would pay bail and take him approximately 90 miles to a hospital in Birmingham for evaluation. But when Foster's family and Black showed up at the jail, there was a delay. Foster was born in Chicago and played college football at Illinois before signing for the Saints 'We went to bond him out and something happened at the jail and they wouldn't let us get him,' Black said. 'I really don't know medically what was going on, but based on what I learned, it was not normal.' Foster's father saw an ambulance arrive and asked if it was for his son. He said he was told the ambulance was there because Foster's son had fought with another detainee and two prison guards. Foster's father said he later learned that deputies at some point drove his son in a patrol cruiser to a hospital and that he was pronounced dead upon arrival. Foster's mother, Sabrina Foster, was not happy about the events, telling WWL, 'I can't get my son back, but we want whoever is responsible to pay for this.' Foster was born in Chicago and played college football at Illinois. An undrafted free agent, he signed with the Saints in appeared in 17 total games over the 2013 and 2014 seasons. He recorded eight tackles, three sacks and seven quarterback hits. The Saints cut him before the 2015 season and he then started a second career as a real estate agent, developer and contractor. He owned a countertop business with two retail locations. 'I really can't find the words to properly express,' Foster's former Saints teammate Terron Armstead wrote on Twitter.
