Tragic Sinking: Deaths of British Tech Mogul and Others on Superyacht

The body of British tech magnate Mike Lynch was recovered from his sunken yacht off the coast of Sicily. His daughter, Hannah, and four others remain missing. The luxury yacht Bayesian, built by Perini, sank swiftly after a storm, leaving 15 survivors. Investigations into the incident are underway.

British tech magnate Mike Lynch's body was recovered Thursday from his family's yacht, which sank off the coast of Sicily this week due to a violent tempest, according to sources close to the rescue operation.

Lynch's daughter, Hannah, remains unaccounted for, along with four others whose bodies were found on Wednesday. The 184-foot superyacht Bayesian, carrying 22 passengers and crew, sank swiftly near Palermo during a fierce storm.

Lynch, 59, celebrated his recent acquittal in a major U.S. fraud trial aboard the yacht. Survivors include Lynch's wife, while other notable passengers among the missing are Judy and Jonathan Bloomer, and Chris and Neda Morvillo. Investigations are ongoing as experts and authorities question the circumstances behind the disaster.
