TAMPA, Fla. (AP)—NFL player Marquis Cooper’s wife is seeking a presumptive death certificate a week after the Coast Guard called off its search for the missing boater and two friends.

Rebekah Cooper filed a petition for the certificate Wednesday in civil court in Florida.

The Oakland Raiders linebacker departed from Clearwater Pass west of Tampa Feb. 28 in a 21-foot boat. He was with free-agent NFL defensive lineman Corey Smith and two former University of South Florida football players.

Their boat overturned after encountering rough waters in the Gulf of Mexico.

Nick Schuyler was found clinging to the boat two days later. The other men have not been found.

With the presumptive death certificate, Cooper’s beneficiaries can collect life insurance and other benefits.

No, but if my wife was missing in the ocean, I wouldn't be smiling for the cameras a couple days later like I was being interviewed after winning the lotto...




























...or about to cash in on an insurance check.

people deal with things differently.

reality probably didnt set in at that point. regardless, a life was loss. someone's kid, someones husband, etc. terrible situation all around. R.I.P. and hopefully the bodies wash up to bring closure for the families.
