Mike Lynch's 18-year-old daughter Hannah is still unaccounted for, as divers continue searching the wreck of a superyacht that sank off Sicily and questions intensify about why the boat sank so quickly.
The body of British tech magnate Mike Lynch has been retrieved from the wreck of his family yacht that sank off the coast of Sicily during a violent storm, a source close to the rescue operation says. Lynch's 18-year-old daughter Hannah is still unaccounted for, the source said. The bodies of the other four people who vanished when the boat went down were recovered from the yacht on Wednesday.
Giovanni Costantino, CEO of the Italian Sea Group, which includes Perini, said the Bayesian was "one of the safest boats in the world" and basically unsinkable. He said he believed the disaster was caused by a chain of human mistakes and that the storm had been expected, in interviews with Italian media. "The ship sank because it took on water, from where investigators will have to say," Costantino told television news program TG1 late on Wednesday.
