Mike Lynch, described as the British Bill Gates, is missing along with his daughter - though his wife has been rescued. Among the other survivors is a British mother who says she held her baby above the waves after the yacht capsized.
British tech tycoon Mike Lynch and his 18-year-old daughter are among six tourists missing after a luxury yacht sank in a tornado off the coast of Italy. One person has been confirmed dead - believed to be the vessel's cook - while four of the missing passengers are British and two are American, according to Italian newspaper la Repubblica. The British-flagged yacht, called Bayesian, had 10 crew and 12 passengers on board and sank at about 5am local time off the coast of Palermo.
According to her LinkedIn profile, Ms Golunski is a partner at Mr Lynch's firm, called Invoke Capital. Mr Lynch, described as the British Bill Gates, was cleared earlier this year of conducting a massive fraud over the sale of software company Autonomy to Hewlett-Packard in 2011. His co-defendant in that trial, Stephen Chamberlain, was separately confirmed dead after he was hit by a car on Saturday.
