New England Patriots defensive end Marquise Hill is believed to be missing after a jet ski incident that occurred on a lake in Louisiana Sunday evening. Hill was riding with a young woman when a strong current knocked the two off their watercrafts. According to the Boston Globe, Hill saved the young woman’s life by keeping her calm and eventually getting her a buoy to hang onto. She was eventually saved after people on a boat heard her screams for help, but Hill drifted away and is still missing.
So many times we hear about athletes who are selfish, but obviously that’s not the case with Hill. My thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family and hopefully he’ll be rescued soon.
Update: According to New Orleans Times-Picayune, Hill’s body was recovered at 2:15pm Monday, but he had already passed. Hill was 24.
