ROYAL OAK, Md. - Maryland State Police are investigating the death of a Maryland man who was found dead in a body of water hours after he abandoned his car and fled when a trooper attempted to stop him for traffic violations early Wednesday morning.

The man is identified as Glenn M. Foster III, 36, of Tilghman Island, Md.  He was pronounced dead at the scene shortly after 7a.m. 

According to police, a trooper from the Easton Barrack was patrolling Rt. 33 when he saw a vehicle that appeared to be speeding and nearly collided head-on with the car in front of the trooper.  The trooper made a U-turn on Rt. 33 and saw the car cross the center line again as it made a turn onto Royal Oak Rd.  The trooper tried pulling the Ford Taurus over, but the car turned onto Bushy Heath Lane and sped away.

As the trooper tried catching up to the car, he saw the Taurus stop and what appeared to be someone running away from the car.  The trooper reported his location to the barrack and called for assistance after seeing the person run into a thickly wooded area in the remote location.

More troopers and deputies from the Talbot County Sheriff’s Office arrived and searched the area.  During the search, troopers came upon a small body of water, but heard no noise in the area.  As the search continued, troopers heard someone calling for help from the direction of the water, but after a short time, no further calls were heard.

A Maryland State Police helicopter and personnel from the Tilghman and Oxford fire departments responded to assist with a search of the water. The search continued through the early morning hours.  Shortly before 7:00 a.m., a body was found in the water 30 to 50 yards from shore.  The person was identified as Foster, who was pronounced dead at the scene.

The body was transported to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Baltimore.  An autopsy will be conducted to determine the cause and manner of death

Investigators from the Maryland State Police Criminal Enforcement Division are the continuing investigation.
