LIVINGSTON PARISH, LA. (THECOUNT) — Keith Hilliard, the father of LSU baseball pitcher, Ma’Khail Hilliard, has been identified as the victim who drown while tubing on the Amite River over the weekend.
Keith Hilliard, 53, entered the water to retrieve a lost item and failed to resurface while tubing in Denham Springs.
