The body of the last missing person from the sinking of the sailing vessel Bayesian, which sank in the waters of Porticello (Palermo), has been found and recovered.
After intense days of long dives to the bottom of the sea to thoroughly examine the boat, firefighter divers have located and brought to the surface Hannah Lynch, the English tycoon's eighteen-year-old daughter who disappeared in the accident last Monday.
In addition to the young woman's, six other bodies were recovered, trapped inside the hull of the sailboat. Apart from the cook's, found outside the hull, the five bodies were found outside the cabins, in an area of the ship that was the last to flood shortly before sinking. A sign of the strenuous attempt to find a way to escape from the vessel.
Yesterday the search for the young woman continued all day, while outside the wreck the coast guard robot searched the sandy seabed, photographing and filming the area. The body of her father, Mike Lynch, is the fifth body recovered yesterday inside the yacht, at a depth of 50 meters. Two days ago the divers had brought to the surface the bodies of Jonathan Bloomer, president of Morgan Stanley International, his wife Anne Elizabeth, the lawyer Chris Morvillo and his wife Nada. The toll of the shipwreck at the moment is 6 dead, the young woman missing and 15 survivors.
Then comes a rumor from Great Britain: according to the Daily Telegraph website, which cites funds from the nautical sector, Mike Lynch would have put the sailing ship up for sale in March of this year, but would have changed his mind two months later. The choice after the acquittal in the US in June in the criminal trial where he was accused of fraud on the acquisition of his multinational computer company Autonomy by the American giant HP.
