Bodies of Billionaire Mike Lynch and Daughter Recovered From Sunken Yacht
The bodies of billionaire Mike Lynch and his daughter Hannah were recovered from the businessman’s sunken superyacht Wednesday. The Telegraph reports that two other bodies found on board have yet to be identified.
Sources familiar with rescue efforts confirmed to The Independent that the bodies were found “behind two mattresses” inside the Bayesian by dive teams, which have worked in 12-minute shifts because of water pressure.
The Bayesian, an 184-foot sailing vessel, was struck by a waterspout and sank off the Sicilian coast around 5 a.m. Monday morning with 22 people aboard. That included Lynch, 59, as well as his 18-year-old daughter, Hannah.
