Divers searching the wreck of the superyacht discovered the bodies of five passengers, raising questions about why it sank so swiftly compared to a nearby sailboat.
Salvatore Cocina, head of the Sicily civil protection agency, confirmed that bodies found included British tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch and his daughter, further drawing attention to the tragedy.
The 56-metre British-flagged yacht, The Bayesian, reportedly sank due to being struck by a waterspout during a storm while moored off Sicily's coast.
Among the fifteen people who escaped, many were rescued by a nearby sailboat after the yacht encountered perilous conditions, prompting an exhaustive search for the unaccounted.
