The cause of death was not released nor was the exact location where he died.
Per NOLA.com, Foster had been arrested early Saturday morning on counts of reckless endangerment, resisting arrest and attempting to elude police. By Sunday afternoon, the chargers were adjusted to three counts of simple assault and one count of third degree robbery.
