27 divers in action
Palermo: Search for billionaire Lynch continues
Four days after the sinking of the luxury yacht Bayesian off Sicily and the recovery of several bodies, the feverish search for billionaire Mike Lynch is now underway. The body of the 59-year-old Briton has now been recovered. The search is now only for his 18-year-old daughter.
The body was found in the hull of the yacht. The Italian newspaper "La Repubblica" reports that she had already been spotted during search operations in the cabin area on Wednesday. The Bayesian is lying on its side at a depth of 50 meters.
Divers who had already recovered bodies from the Costa Concordia cruise ship that sank off the Italian island of Giglio in 2012 also took part in the search for Lynch. A total of 27 divers and a diving robot were involved in the search operation.
According to the Italian Coast Guard, the other fatalities were the high-ranking manager of the investment bank Morgan Stanley International, Jonathan Bloomer, his wife Anne Elizabeth, the lawyer Chris Morvillo and his wife Nada. Lynch's daughter (18) is still being searched for.
In the accident off the coast of Sicily, 15 people were rescued early on Monday morning, eight of whom were taken to hospital. A party had been organized on board, which lasted well into the night.
The 50-metre-long ship with 22 people on board sank off Porticello near Palermo at around 5 a.m. after a violent storm. A boat flying the Dutch flag, which was nearby, provided first aid to the survivors.
