Body of British tech billionaire Mike Lynch recovered off the coast of Sicily


Lynch was one of 22 people on board the superyacht.

Fifteen people — including a baby — managed to escape on a life raft and were rescued by the crew of the Sir Robert Baden Powell, a Dutch ship that was anchored nearby. Investigators are looking into why the Bayesian sank when other boats, including a nearby sailboat, were largely unaffected, the AP reports. Giovanni Costantino, the CEO of the Italian Sea Group — the company that owns the Bayesian’s manufacturer — described Lynch’s yacht as “one of the safest boats in the world” and said the accident likely occurred because the crew didn’t follow basic safety procedures.
