Deputies said he was placed under arrest and handcuffed shortly before 6 p.m. Tuesday. A short time later, a deputy noticed Fox was unresponsive and an ambulance was called.

Fox was transported to United Memorial Medical Center in Batavia where he was pronounced dead around 7:30 p.m.

The death was investigated by the county coroner, the Genesee County Sheriff's Office and the Monroe County Medical Examiner's Office.
