The body believed to be that of Hannah Lynch, the 18-year-old daughter of British tech tycoon Mike Lynch, has been found by divers searching the wreck of the Bayesian superyacht that sank off Sicily this week, an Italian coast guard official said Friday. <\/p>\n
With the wreck located nearly 50 meters (160 feet) underwater, it may still be some time before divers \u2013 who have only around 12 minutes to reach and explore the site before having to resurface \u2013 are able to retrieve the body. <\/p>\n
After retrieving six bodies from the wreck over the past four days, Lynch\u2019s is the final body being searched for by Italian authorities. The body of her father, Mike Lynch, was retrieved and identified on Thursday, an Italian interior ministry official told Reuters. <\/p>\n
The British-flagged vessel, with 22 passengers and crew members on board, sank on Monday after its mast, one of the world\u2019s tallest, broke in half during a violent storm. Fifteen people were rescued on Monday and one body was recovered \u2013 thought to be that on the onboard chef Recaldo Thomas. <\/p>\n
Six others were initially reported missing: Lynch and his daughter; Morgan Stanley International director Jonathan Bloomer and his wife, Judy Bloomer; and prominent American lawyer Chris Morvillo and his wife, Neda Morvillo. <\/p>\n
Five days on, Italian authorities are still working to understand how the 56-meter (184-foot) yacht sank so quickly. Unverified security camera footage released Wednesday appeared to show the moment that a waterspout \u2013 a type of tornado that spun over Sicily early Monday \u2013 sank the vessel. <\/p>\n
One witness, the owner of a nearby villa looked out to where the Bayesian was anchored, later watched back his CCTV footage that captured the yacht sinking. <\/p>\n
\u201cIn just 60 seconds, you can see the ship disappear,\u201d he told Italian outlet ANSA. \u201cYou can see clearly what\u2019s happening. There was nothing that could be done for the vessel. It disappeared in a very short time.\u201d <\/p>\n
