Update: Six bodies found following Sicily yacht sinking, two victims identified

All six missing persons on board the luxury yacht Bayesian that sank off the coast of Sicily have reportedly been found by divers. The victims include UK tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch, his daughter, the Morgan Stanley International chair, and a Clifford Chance lawyer. The body of the yacht’s chef was located shortly after the vessel sank, and four more bodies were found on Wednesday, with two still missing. The investigation into the incident may result in changes to ship building practices due to the yacht’s tall mast. The UK’s Marine Accident Investigation Branch is also looking into the sinking. There has been speculation about the identities of the recovered bodies, with reports suggesting two may be Lynch and his daughter, but no formal confirmation has been provided. The bodies will be transferred to a morgue for autopsies, and authorities are waiting to conduct legal examinations and notify relatives for identification. This tragic incident has left many people devastated, and the search and recovery efforts continue in Porticello.
