His family has hired an attorney.

Lawyers say video footage shows lifeguards failing to act in a timely manner.

They say Rosales was underwater for nearly 30 minutes before he was eventually found unconscious by police.

According to lawyer Edward Witas, “The lifeguards, instead of beginning any form of emergency search or clearing the water as per their protocol, merely instructed the friends to ‘go look in the parking lot.'”

The Naperville Park District issued a statement, expressing, “Our heartfelt condolences are with the family and loved ones. Though we do not concur with the timeline and information mentioned, we choose not to speculate or comment publicly and will continue collaborating with the police investigation into the incident.”

Rosales leaves behind a wife and 8-year-old daughter.

He was a barber in Addison.

Naperville police reported that officers responded to the beach at approximately 5:45 p.m. on Thursday for a missing person who was last seen in the pool’s deep end.

Police believe the man was in the water with a group of friends, trying to swim to a floating dock in the middle of the deep end.

When the group arrived at the dock, police said, they noticed their friend was no longer with them. They searched the area around them before returning to shore.

Police said lifeguards were eventually notified about the missing man and found him in the water, unresponsive, just after 6 p.m.

The Naperville Fire Department rushed the man to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Police said there is no indication of foul play, and they are investigating alongside the DuPage County Coroner’s Office.

Centennial Beach was closed Friday and Saturday, but reopened Sunday.

Police asked anyone with information to call them at 630-548-1421.
