They said he was not a good swimmer and he fell into the lake without a life jacket on. It happened sometime last night. Sucks.

The girl reports he was treading water, but the current got him and was pushing him away. She grabbed a piling and held on.

The Coast Guard is looking for him. They are 12 hours into it, so it is very posible this story will have a sad ending.

WWL LSU and Patriot Player Marquise Hill missing in Lake Pontchartrain Dave Cohen Reporting Audio: WWLs Dave Cohen talks with the agent for Marquise Hill after his disappearance in Lake Pontchartrain Former LSU Tiger and current New England Patriot football player Marquise Hill is missing in Lake Pontchartrain. "I have hope. He's a strong kid," Hill's Agent Albert Elias told WWL First News. He says people should not assume the worst and asks that they assist in the search for the 6 foot 6 inch, 300 pound athlete. "If we could get people out there to look for him... he can swim." The Coast Guard early this morning added an aircraft to the search for Hill on the south shore of Lake Pontchartrain. "We are conducting a first light search with an HH65 rescue helicopter from Air Station New Orleans as well as a small rescue boat," Coast Guard Petty Officer Thomas Atkinson told WWL First News. He says Hill and woman fell off a jet ski last night near the Seabrook Bridge. "A good Samaritan on the bank heard yells for help," Atkinson says, "They found a woman clinging onto a piling near the shore." The woman told the boaters that Hill had been with her. "As soon as they spotted him, they attempted to maneuver their boat into position to pick him up and lost sight of him." Atkinson says. Hill disappeared in the darkness around 9:00pm. The Coast Guard used boats in the water and people on land to try and find Hill, but could not locate him Sunday night. Atkinson says neither Hill nor the woman were wearing a life jacket.
