Luxury sailboat Bayesian was docked off the coast of Porticello when a waterspout struck the area just before 5am on Monday, wrecking the yacht and causing it to rapidly sink. While one person tragically died and 15 survived the disaster, six people including British tech billionaire Lynch and his eighteen-year-old daughter remain missing.
The other four yet to be found are Mr Bloomer and his wife, as well as Lynch's attorney Christopher Morvillo and his wife Nada. Lynch had invited family and friends on the yacht to celebrate his triumph over fraud charges in the US. The billionaire had gathered guests from legal firm Clifford Chance, as well as his own company Invoke Capital after being cleared in June.
Mr Bloomer is a close friend of Lynch and was confirmed missing by Italian Authorities..
