Authorities open investigation By Katherine Lawton Published: 20:38 EDT, 20 August 2024 | Updated: 20:51 EDT, 20 August 2024 e-mail View comments The wife of missing British tech billionaire Mike Lynch is in a 'state of shock and sadness' as she waits for updates on the rescue of her husband and their 18-year-old daughter. Angela Bacares, 57, was one of 15 people to survive when luxury superyacht Bayesian was struck by a waterspout off the coast of Porticello, near Palermo, Italy , in the early hours of Monday morning. The sailboat's chef has tragically been confirmed dead while six people remain missing - including Mrs Bacares' husband Lynch and their teenage daughter Hannah.
Mrs Bacares has sought refuge with other survivors in a hotel, which is just a six-minute drive from Porticello harbour, near to where the boat sank. A hotel guest told The Mirror that the mother is in a very distressed state as she waits for updates on whether her husband and daughter are alive. It is feared those missing were asleep in their cabins when the boat was struck and suddenly disappeared under the water.
