The remains of five individuals, including British entrepreneur Mike Lynch and his teenage daughter Hannah, have been recovered from the wreckage of Lynch’s luxurious yacht, according to various media sources on Wednesday.
The yacht, a 56-meter British-flagged vessel named 'Bayesian', was moored near Porticello port when it reportedly encountered a severe weather event, possibly a tornado or waterspout. This led to the yacht’s sinking shortly thereafter. Among the deceased found was the ship’s chef, Recaldo Thomas.
So far, four bodies have been retrieved from the debris, and efforts to recover a fifth body are ongoing. Only one person from the yacht remains unaccounted for.
Salvatore Cocina, the leader of Sicily's civil protection agency, has confirmed to the news agency PA that two of the bodies recovered were identified as tech magnate Lynch and his 18-year-old daughter Hannah.
Still missing are Morgan Stanley executive Jonathan Bloomer, his wife Judy, and New York attorney Chris Morvillo and his wife Neda.
Cocina also noted that the search operations concluded for the day and would continue on Thursday.
The yacht was fully manned with 12 crew members and 10 passengers when it went down early Monday morning. Since then, 15 individuals, including Lynch’s wife who is the owner of the yacht, have been rescued.
The yacht, considered among the “safest” in its class according to shipbuilding experts, is now under investigation by British authorities. This follows concerns raised by The Telegraph about contacting the vessel's designer.
This incident occurred as Lynch, often referred to as ‘Britain’s Bill Gates’, was reportedly celebrating a recent victory in a major U.S. fraud trial involving the sale of his company Autonomy to Hewlett-Packard for £8.3 billion ($10.8 billion).
Separately, in an unrelated incident, Stephen Chamberlain, who was Lynch's co-defendant in the fraud trial and the former vice president of finance at Autonomy, tragically lost his life after being hit by a car while jogging in Cambridgeshire, UK.
