British technology tycoon Mike Lynch, his wife and 18-year-old daughter and Morgan Stanley boss Jonathan Bloomer were among those on board the Bayesian superyacht that sank off the coast of Sicily.
The body found in the Bayesian superyacht search operation is that of chef Recaldo Thomas, the Italian coastguard has confirmed to Sky News. Mr Thomas was one of the 22 people on board the superyacht that sank off the coast of Sicily in the early hours of Monday. The British-flagged vessel named Bayesian was carrying 12 passengers and 10 members of crew when it got into difficulty at around 4.30am, the Italian coastguard said. Six people are missing and another 15 were rescued.
The Palermo Port Authority had earlier told Canadian broadcaster CBC News his body had been recovered from the wreckage. Chris Morvillo US lawyer Chris Morvillo is missing from the yacht, his employers confirmed. The father-of-two worked on Mr Lynch's US fraud trial and is a partner of law firm Clifford Chance's US branch.
