Bid to find Mike Lynch's missing daughter Hannah ends for another night: Divers still not found 18-year-old after her father's body was recovered from sunken £30m superyacht By Nick Craven In Sicily and Arthur Parashar Published: 21:38, 22 August 2024 | Updated: 21:53, 22 August 2024 e-mail View comments Specialist divers have stopped today's search for the missing daughter of British tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch - as the 18-year-old remains the only person unaccounted for after a superyacht sank off the coast of Sicily this week. A total of six bodies have been recovered since the £30million Bayesian was struck by an over-sea tornado known as a waterspout off Sicily at around 3am GMT on Monday. Mr Lynch, his daughter Hannah, Morgan Stanley International bank chairman Jonathan Bloomer, his wife Judy Bloomer, Clifford Chance lawyer Chris Morvillo, his wife Neda Morvillo and the boat's chef Recaldo Thomas were lost when the yacht sank.
The bodies of those missing have all been recovered, with the exception of Hannah who had joined her parents on the trip ahead of starting an English degree at the University of Oxford in September. The search for Hannah was called off at around 8pm in Sicily on Thursday with divers expected to begin again at 6.30am on Friday.
Massimo Mariani, an interior ministry official, said Hannah may still be inside the ship or could have been thrown into the sea when it sank. British tech tycoon Mike Lynch, 59, is among the bodies recovered from the wrec.
