Italian Coast Guard recovers final body from sunken superyacht
The Italian Coast Guard has recovered the body of the final missing person from a sunken superyacht off the Italian coast of Sicily, according to The Associated Press.
The yacht went down rapidly Monday during a storm, and six people had initially been unaccounted for, prompting dayslong searches.
While officials had only said the final missing person was female, it is being reported that the body recovered Friday was that of 18-year-old Hannah Lynch, the daughter of British tech mogul Mike Lynch.
Mike Lynch — who was recently acquitted of fraud in the U.S. — was confirmed dead on Thursday upon the discovery of his body. Four other bodies were recovered Wednesday.
Mike Lynch had been celebrating his acquittal aboard the yacht with family and his legal team when civil protection officials believe it was struck by a tornado over the water — known as a waterspout — and sank quickly, according to AP.
