Body of LSU standout recovered from Lake Pontchartrain

Authorities pulled the body of Marquis Hill, a former LSU football standout and New England Patriot, from Lake Ponchartrain this afternoon, after he fell off a jet ski Sunday night.

Hill's body was recovered around 2:15 p.m. He was taken by authorities to the Orleans Parish Coroner's Office.

Capt. Brian Clark of the state Department of Wildlife and Fisheries said Hill was found by a drag net several hundred yards west of the Industrial Canal. Hill was not wearing a life vest.

New England teammate Randall Gay of Baton Rouge was at the scene when authorities found Hill. Gay also played with Hill at LSU.

Gay said practice resumes Thursday for the Patriots.

"I know it's going to be hard in that locker room seeing his locker,'' he said.

Around 10 a.m. today, Steve McManus of the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries said officials decided to focus on recovering Hill's body after witnesses saw him go under the water without resurfacing. Authorities were using information from family members to determine Hill's exact location at the time he and a woman fell from the craft, McManus said.

The accident was reported about 9 p.m. Sunday after a man and woman were reported falling into the water from a recreational craft. They apparently were heading to the Seabrook boat launch. The Orleans Levee Board Police said that a passing boat had briefly picked up the man, but he jumped back in the water to look for the woman.

The woman, who was rescued after a passerby heard someone calling for help, had apparently grabbed onto a piling or other structure in the lake.

Hill, a New Orleans native who graduated from De La Salle High School, has played in the NFL since 2004 and was a member of LSU's national championship-winning 2003 Tigers.
