Marquise Hill-DL-Patriots May. 28 - 9:50 am et

WWL in New Orleans reports a Coast Guard search has been issued for Patriots DE Marquise Hill on the south shore of Lake Pontchartrain.

The Coast Guard sent out a boat and helicopter to look for Hill, who is believed to have fallen off his jet ski Sunday night along with a female companion. "A good Samaritan on the bank heard yells for help," a Coast Guard officer says. "They found a woman clinging onto a piling near the shore." Hill is said to have disappeared into the darkness at around 9PM.


Very sad news. Hopefully he is found.

RIP Marquise Hill

Oh my God... I don't really know what to say, I can only pray that he is found, this is never anything you want to see happen with anyone...

RIP Marquise Hill. Not only was a he a good football player, but a good humanitarian who did lots of charity work. Very sad to see him go that young.

My prayers go out to his family and friends. Some may or may not remember him during his LSU days and/or Patriot career. However that is just fine cause Football is just a game and it sounds like he made more out of his life then just play Football.

Wow, this is a local lake, I can't believe this is the first I am hearing of this. How tragic.

Rest in Peace.
