Who is Glenn Foster Jr's wife Pamela? Former NFL player dies in police custody

'We asked them for him to have medical treatment and they denied him for two days,' Glenn Foster's mother told about the police

In another case of tragic and brutal custodial death, former NFL player Glenn Close Jr reportedly died in police custody in Alabama. According to his mother Sabrina Foster, the 31-year-old player "died in custody after being denied medical treatment". "We asked them for him to have medical treatment and they denied him for two days. I told them he has not eaten or [had] water and his organs could shut down, and they didn’t seem concerned,” she claimed.

Alabama State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) is currently investigating the case which has been reported as an 'in-custody death'. Foster was a former defensive lineman for New Orleans Saints but had been working in real estate with his wife Pamela, since his retirement from NFL. He was arrested in Alabama on December 5 on suspicion of third-degree robbery and simple assault. Foster died a day later on December 6 at a medical facility in Northport.

Who is Glenn Foster Jr's wife? 

Glenn Foster was married to Pamela Foster and the couple shared four daughters — Liana (9), Sofia (6), Malia Ivy (3), and Nadia Sky (16 months). They appeared to be a very close-knit family and often shared glimpses from fun family moments. Together, Glenn and Pamela Foster renovated homes and later started the real estate venture SLAG (Southern Louisiana Granite). They decided to invest in countertops business after they noticed the increasing demand while renovating homes post the 2016 Baton Rouge floods. 

"She’s able to see how much energy and effort I put in, and I get to see that from her," Glenn had once shared about their joint business venture.  "We both get to appreciate our accomplishments on completing these projects together, and we get to push each other to be better," he added. 

Pamela is still reeling from the shocking loss and is yet to issue a statement on her husband's death. Meanwhile, the ex-Saints player was mourned by his team, who tweeted, "We send our heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of former Saint Glenn Foster."

New Orleans Saints ex-captain Junior Galette wrote, "Glenn Foster introduced me to this lawyer named Everret Fineran who coincidentally quit in the midst of my lawsuit VS. The @NFL. I get a call this morning hearing that Glenn Died in the Hands of POLICE CUSTODY!!! REST IN POWER GLENN I SMELL FOUL PLAY!SMFH".

Foster's University of Illinois teammate Kam Buckner tweeted, “No words right now. Rest powerfully, little brother. From Chicago to Champaign to New Orleans. You left your mark everywhere you went. Glenn Foster, we love you bruh.”

"I really can’t find the words to properly express. Rest In Peace Glenn Foster, you’ll be missed bro!" tweeted a fan.
