Report: Body of missing person found on sunken superyacht off Sicily

The Italian Coast Guard confirmed that the body of the last missing person was found on Friday after a luxury yacht sank off the coast of Northern Italy, as reported by the Associated Press news agency.

Hannah Lynch, the daughter of British tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch, is the last person believed to be missing after the superyacht Bayesian sank suddenly during a violent storm in the early hours of Monday morning.

The following individuals have been confirmed dead after being retrieved from the wreckage of the yacht: British tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch, Morgan Stanley International Chair Jonathan Bloomer and his wife, charity trustee Judy Bloomer, Clifford Chance lawyer Chris Morvillo, and his wife, jewellery designer Neda Morvillo.

Earlier this week, it was confirmed that Recaldo Thomas, a Canadian-Antiguan national who was employed as a chef on a ship, had passed away.

The search for the missing individuals took several days due to challenges in accessing the wreck, which is situated at a depth of approximately 50 meters and has limited entry points, as well as being surrounded by debris.

On Monday, 15 individuals who were on the sinking boat were rescued, including Lynch's wife Angela Bacares, a one-year-old baby, and her parents.

Autonomy, founded by Lynch, was accused by Hewlett Packard of inflating its value during an $11.7 billion sale. As a result, HP took an $8.8 billion write-down on the company's value within a year of the acquisition.

In June, Lynch was found not guilty of fraud charges after a three-month trial in a U.S. court.

The trial was represented by Clifford Chance's Morvillo, who defended Lynch, while Morgan Stanley's Bloomer testified on behalf of the defense.

Invoke Capital, a venture capital firm supporting European tech startups, was founded by Lynch. He became a prominent voice advocating for the U.K. technology industry, backing key companies such as cybersecurity firm Darktrace and legal tech firm Luminance.
