A shipwreck and manslaughter investigation has been launched by Italian officials after the death of Mike Lynch, his teenage daughter Hannah and five others. According to a translation of Public prosecutor Ambrogio Cartosio's press conference today, an investigation has been launched into the cause of the death of seven people off the coast of Sicily. He told a press conference: “The Termini Imerese prosecution has opened a case hypothesising the crime of shipwreck and of manslaughter but we are only at the initial stage of the inquiry so far.
