The search continues for the final person missing from the wreck of a yacht that sank off the coast of Sicily. The body of technology tycoon Mike Lynch was recovered from the luxury yacht Bayesian on Thursday, but his 18-year-old daughter reportedly remains missing. The Italian Coastguard confirmed that the sixth and final person yet to be found is a woman.
Mr Lynch, his daughter Hannah, Morgan Stanley International bank chairman Jonathan Bloomer, his wife Judy Bloomer, Clifford Chance lawyer Chris Morvillo, and his wife Neda Morvillo were lost when the Bayesian sank at around 5am on Monday. The search was called off at around 8pm in Sicily on Thursday with divers expected to begin again at 6.30am on Friday.
Five bodies have now been brought to shore in the small fishing village of Porticello, around 11 miles from the Sicilian capital of Palermo. In a statement confirming their parents’ deaths, the Bloomer family described the couple as “incredible people and an inspiration to many”. They said: “We are grieving for our loved ones and all of those affected by the tragedy.
“Our parents were incredible people and an inspiration to many, but first and foremost they were focused on and loved their family and spending time with their new grandchildren. “Together for five decades, our only comfort is that they are still together now. This is an unimaginable grief to shoulder.
