apparently was on a jetski with a woman after dark (around 9:30) They crashed and she was able to swim to a bridge pylon and was rescued. While rescuing her they saw hill but by time they got to where he was he was gone and hasn't been seen since. It's a big lake at 26 miles wide...and they weren't wearing any lifejackets

Elias said the woman was rescued and rushed to the hospital where she told them that Hill had tried to keep her calm even as the two were drifting away from each other.

 

That sucks. I cannot think of a worse way to die (I can't swim).

Ben Roethlisberger better step back and take a good long look at his decisions in life, now.

excerpt

 

Patriots teammate Randall Gay of Baton Rouge, who also played with Hill at Louisiana State University, was at the scene when authorities found Hill, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune. He said, "I know it's going to be hard in that locker room seeing his locker" when practice resumes Thursday

Too bad, hopefully some good will come of this and people who ride without life jackets will reconsider now...
