Lynch and at least six others are confirmed dead after his superyacht, the Bayesian, sank after being hit by a waterspout on Monday.
The body of billionaire tech mogul Mike Lynch was recovered off the coast of Sicily, the Italian coast guard announced on Thursday. Lynch’s 184-foot superyacht, the Bayesian, sunk on August 19th reportedly after being hit by a tornado over the water, called a waterspout. The yacht sank quickly, according to reports, even though its manufacturer claimed it was unsinkable. Lynch was on the yacht with family and friends celebrating his acquittal on fraud charges in June.
Fifteen people — including a baby — managed to escape on a life raft and were rescued by the crew of the Sir Robert Baden Powell, a Dutch ship that was anchored nearby. “They were all under shock,” Karsten Börner, the captain of the Sir Robert, told the New York Times. Five other bodies were recovered, including that of Christopher Morvillo, one of the attorneys who defended Lynch in the HP trial. Lynch’s 18-year-old daughter Hannah is still unaccounted for.
