Mike Lynch yacht sinking latest: Final body recovered from water in search for Hannah Lynch

The final body, believed to be that of Hannah Lynch , has been found in Italian waters four days after the Bayesian superyacht sank, the Italian Coast Guard has said.

British tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch’s superyacht sank off Sicily earlier this week carrying 22 passengers and crew. All missing passengers have now been found.

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 yacht sank at around 5am local time on Monday during a storm.

Efforts to recover the body, likely Hannah’s, are “in progress”, the head of Sicily’s civil protection agency Salvatore Cocina said.

Of the 22 passengers and crew on board, 15 — including Mr Lynch’s wife, Angela Bacares — were rescued after escaping onto a lifeboat. The boat’s chef Recaldo Thomas was confirmed dead on Monday.

The boat trip was a celebration of Mr Lynch’s acquittal in a fraud case in the US.
