Hannah Lynch’s body, the final missing person, discovered near Sicily

The body of the last person missing from the sunken superyacht off the Sicilian coast, believed to be the daughter of British tech magnate Mike Lynch, has been found. Hannah Lynch was discovered after a challenging five-day rescue operation. The Lynch family had been celebrating Mike’s recent acquittal on fraud charges with friends when the 184-foot Bayesian sank during a storm. Fifteen people were rescued, but six were declared missing. Five bodies were recovered from the wreckage, with one being identified as Lynch. The ship’s cook, Recaldo Thomas, was also found dead shortly after the accident. The investigation into the cause of the tragedy is ongoing, with survivors’ accounts suggesting the sinking happened rapidly. The ship’s designer believes the incident may have been due to human error. Prosecutors have questioned the yacht’s captain to understand what happened and if it could have been prevented. The local prosecutor’s office has launched an investigation, with a news conference scheduled for Saturday. Claudio Lavanga, Claudia Rizzo, and Yuliya Talmazan reported on the tragic event, with contributions from The Associated Press.
