On Saturday, Trotwood search and rescue crews were called to Madison Lakes on reports of a water rescue at approximately 12:25 p.m.

Trotwood Fire Department Public Information Officer Ralph Bowman told News Center 7 that Padilla was swimming in the lake with three friends and never resurfaced.

“They were all here together, said that their friend was swimming behind them, when they got to shore, they turned around and he was gone,” Bowman said.

Search and rescue crews spent almost three days searching for the swimmer.

Padilla’s body was found shortly before 3:30 p.m. on Monday.

News Center 7 crews were at Madison Lakes and saw multiple ‘no swimming’ signs posted along the shore.

“It’s dangerous to swim and jumping around the cliffs is dangerous,” Bowman said.
