Four Bodies Found By Divers Searching Sunken Yacht

Four Bodies Found By Divers Searching Sunken Yacht

By James Hughes

Authorities have on Wednesday, 21st of August, 2024 disclosed that four bodies have been found by divers searching the sunken superyacht, which sank off the coast of Sicily earlier in the week.

The British-flagged vessel sank early Monday – killing at least one of 22 people on board – after its mast, one of the world’s tallest, broke in half during a violent storm. Fifteen people were rescued, with six initially reported missing.

CNN reports that one body was recovered Monday – thought to be that of the onboard chef Ricardo Thomas – and four more on Wednesday, meaning one person remains missing.

The individuals missing are British tech tycoon Mike Lynch and his 18-year-old daughter, Hannah Lynch; Morgan Stanley International director Jonathan Bloomer and his wife, Judy Bloomer; prominent American lawyer Chris Morvillo and his wife, Neda Morvillo.

Security camera footage has shown the moments before a tornado sank the 56-meter-long (184-foot) yacht. As rain lashes down on the port, the grainy video shows the boat being battered by the storm, rocking violently from side to side before capsizing.
