Marquise Hill's body pulled from La. lake

According to the website of the New Orleans Times-Picayune, the body of Patriots defensive lineman Marquise Hill was pulled from Lake Ponchartrain around 2:15 p.m. local time (3:15 EST).

Hill was involved in a jet-skiing accident with a female companion last night; according to reports, he helped the woman (who was rescued from a piling) remain calm before he was pulled away from her.

Hill's body was taken to the Orleans Parish Coroner's Office. Reportedly, Hill's Pats' and LSU teammate Randall Gay was at the scene when Hill's body was recovered.

Hill, 24, was a second-round pick of New England in 2004 after helping LSU win the national championship. The 6-foot-6 Louisiana native had played in 13 games for the Patriots.
