Divers have recovered the bodies of five of the six missing people who were on a luxury superyacht when it sank in violent weather off Sicily. Two Americans were among those who were missing. NBC News' Steve Patterson reports.
Divers scouring the wreckage of the superyacht that sank off the Sicilian coast have found the body of the last person missing from the luxury boat, believed to be the daughter of a British tech magnate. The body of Mike Lynch's 18-year-old daughter Hannah was discovered early Friday, the Italian Coast Guard said, according to the Associated Press news agency — the culmination of a challenging five-day rescue operation.
Fifteen people were rescued, but six others were declared missing. The bodies of five of them were brought out of the ship's wreck by the divers on Thursday, with one of them identified as Lynch. One other body, of the ship’s cook Recaldo Thomas, was recovered shortly after the accident. As the massive search and rescue effort neared its end Friday, attention was turning to the investigation of exactly what caused the tragedy.
