Rescuers recover body of last missing person after Sicily superyacht sinking

Italian rescue divers have found the body of the last person missing after British tech magnate Mike Lynch’s family yacht sank off Sicily, believed to be his daughter Hannah, a source close to the matter told Reuters on Friday (August 23).

The British-flagged Bayesian, a 56-meter-long (184-foot) luxury sail boat carrying 22 passengers and crew, was anchored off the port of Porticello, near Palermo, when it capsized and rapidly sank after being struck by a pre-dawn storm on Monday (August 19).

The source did not identify the body as belonging to 18-year-old Hannah Lynch, but she was the only person still unaccounted for. Italian news agency Adnkronos said she was found inside the yacht.

The wreck is lying at a depth of 50 meters and once inside the passageways are narrow.
